Sustainability
Longevity as the most important contribution to sustainability
For us at RørosHetta, sustainability is about taking responsibility for the whole – from material selection and production to how the products are actually used over time. We deliver kitchen hoods and solutions that work well for many years. In this way, we help reduce the need for frequent replacement and unnecessary consumption. That is why we focus on delivering products of the highest quality, with a long lifespan.

Quality and durability
Good quality is a prerequisite for sustainability. Our products are developed with a focus on solid construction, reliable components and materials that can withstand daily use. By prioritizing function, precision and craftsmanship, we ensure solutions that retain both performance and expression over time – even as the kitchen and home evolve.
Craftsmanship and quality through time
Our story began in 1946, as the tinsmith shop Røros Metall. The innovative mindset has been at the heart of the family business from day one, and production has been diverse. In 1981, we launched our first copper kitchen hood under the RørosHetta brand, and since then, development, creativity, quality and craftsmanship have been the core values of the company.
We take responsibility in our production and development
Sustainability is integrated into how we develop and produce our products. We continuously work to improve resource use, reduce waste and make conscious choices in materials and supply chains. Transparency, documentation and continuous improvement are important principles in our work – so that we can take responsibility, also in practice.
Our factory in Røros is NEMKO certified, and ISO 14001:2015 certified management system. This confirms, and assumes, that we work systematically with quality, safety and the environment. The certifications mean that our processes, products and working methods are regularly checked by independent third parties.
For our customers, this means increased security that deliveries are made in accordance with applicable requirements and standards, while we continuously work to reduce our environmental impact and improve our routines. The certifications are proof of our focus on responsibility, quality and sustainability in all aspects of the business.
Reduce power consumption with Sense
We care about the environment and our self-produced Sense kitchen hoods can save from 35–85% of your electricity consumption. Sense kitchen hoods come with a brushless motor and LED lights. The new motors provide much higher extraction efficiency, despite perhaps the quietest ventilation on the market. This way you can use your kitchen hood with a clear conscience, for many years.
Look for this symbol on the product pages here on our website, or in our product catalog, to get an overview of our Sense range hoods.
