Overview:
Vermont Castings is one of the leading names in top quality cast-iron gas and wood stoves. They are the only manufacturer in North America that has both a foundry and enameling facilities under one roof. Having it all in one place ensures quality through every process right from the state of the art foundry down to the artisans who hand-carve every pattern. This level of quality can be found not only in their stoves, but also in their fireplaces, fireplace inserts, and their celebrated signature series gas BBQ grills.
Vermont Castings is one of the best known brands owned by Monessen Hearth Systems Co. (MHSC), who acquired Vermont Castings and its sister company Majestic Fireplaces in 2008. With its headquarters in Paris, Kentucky, MHSC has grown from a local manufacturer of vent free logs into a leading full line supplier of hearths and hearth products.
