Elmira does not stock inventory, as every product is built to each customer’s specific desires. All products are custom built to the order at hand, a reflection of each consumer’s individual taste and cooking style. As one of the few appliance manufacturers left in North America, one of Elmira’s biggest challenges is working continually to improve overall product quality. The Fireview brings Elmira back to its roots but, in true Elmira style, it incorporates many unique features never before available in wood-burning cookstoves.Īll Elmira products are made with North American components and finished in-house, giving Elmira complete quality control. In 2009, Elmira Stove Works came full-circle with its introduction of the all-new Fireview wood-burning cookstove. Today, the Northstar retro line is comprised of the ranges, three models of refrigerators, two range hoods, a microwave, splashbacks, and three models of dishwasher panels. In 2004, Elmira introduced electric and gas ranges with modern features and an original retro look. The retro refrigerator was a roaring success in the early 2000s but yet again, consumers wanted other products to complement their retro refrigerator. Elmira developed a ’50s-style retro refrigerator in nine “nifty-50s” colors, including its most popular to this day, Candy Red. Elmira’s products stand alone for state-of-the-art performance, along with old-time elegance and charm.Įlmira became fully ingrained in the 1950s retro appliance category after coming to the realization that retro products were becoming popular, but were not readily available. Using the best ideas and most innovative practices, we have grown with our customers.”Įlmira is constantly upgrading the performance of its products, yet remains committed to maintaining the authenticity and craftsmanship that sets it apart from other manufacturers. “Elmira has always focused directly on the needs of consumers, developing and updating products to meet their changing needs.
“We are proud to be the industry’s leading provider of high-performance vintage appliances,” stated Tom Hendrick, President of Elmira Stove Works. Much has changed over the past 35 years, but one thing remains the same: Elmira’s innovation is customer driven. An “antique” refrigerator was introduced, and microwave ovens, wall ovens and dishwasher panels followed soon thereafter. As sales grew and the line gained exposure, consumers began asking for other appliances to match their ranges. In the 1990s, Elmira completely re-engineered its line of ranges, introducing models with state-of-the-art features including full-size, self-cleaning convection ovens, electronic controls and high-output burners.

In the early 1980s, Elmira introduced gas and electric models with the same traditional styling, plus all of the modern features of the time. As the business expanded to include cottage and camp owners, many consumers loved the appearance of the cookstoves, but wanted the practicality of gas and electric models.
