Gasolec & HeatStar AG® – Distributed by Torvic Agro B.V.
Innovative Heating & Lighting Solutions for the Agricultural Industry
In the 1960s, Gasolec produced its first S-series heaters, followed by the certification of the M-series in 1985 for use in poultry and pig houses. A major milestone came in 2000 with the launch of the G-series, including the G12 Asco and G12 Maxi – 12kW canopy heaters with Pilot Flame ignition and two power settings. The G12E, equipped with electric ignition, was later introduced. A key feature of the G12 is its unique reflector, designed to distribute heat evenly rather than concentrate it in one spot.
In 1992, Gasolec America Inc. was established in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to handle sales across North, Central, and South America.
Energy efficiency has always been a core focus. In 1998, Gasolec introduced monochromatic lighting, followed in 2015 by energy-saving LED solutions. In 2020, Gasolec partnered with Belgian R&D company Explorentis, known for LED innovation in the entertainment industry. Together, they launched Prolucent, a brand dedicated to advanced LED lighting systems for sustainable animal housing. In 2021, the first Prolucent E27 LED bulbs and tubes were released, suited for both floor-based and multi-level animal production environments.
