Ubbink (UK) is now the exclusive distributor for the German-made Wolf range of boilers and
solar thermal. Both companies are part of the Centrotec Sustainable AG Group, which has
companies in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, England, France and Italy.
According to Ubbink, the Wolf brand is highly respected throughout Europe. Kevan Peaker,
Ubbink’s UK director and general manager, said: “Here in the UK, the market for gas condensing
boilers and solar thermal has been dominated by three or four well-known brands. Our aim is to
position Wolf as an alternative choice to these brands, particularly in the high-end domestic and
small commercial sectors. Wolf offers similar levels of quality and performance, with additional
specifi c benefi ts which will be of interest to installers and end users.”
Wolf offers gas condensing boilers from 11kW to 100kW; a complete line of solar thermal
products including fl at plate collectors, control systems and accessories, as well as a solar
swimming pool absorber.
Wolf boilers are tested in accordance with German and European Directives and certifi ed
with the DVGW quality symbol. They are said to offer extremely clean combustion, with high
standard effi ciency up to 110 per cent (Hi) / 99 per cent (Hs) for the best possible energy
utilisation. With excellent access to key components, they are particularly popular with installers
and service personnel.
Wolf’s range of high performance fl at-plate collectors also feature highly weather resistant
aluminium collector housing and 60mm Rockwool thermal insulation. They are tested to EN
12975 part 2 and certifi ed in accordance with Solar-Keymark (F3-1).
