Helo - The World's Largest Sauna and Steam Company

Helo saunas have quite a storied history, starting with its humble beginnings in 1919 in Vyborg, Finland.  The company has changed names numerous times, first as Karjalan Sahko, then Helo Tehtaat, then Oy Saunatec, and finally Helo Group Ltd.

In 2008, the company merged with Tylo to become the TyloHelo World Group, becoming the largest sauna manufacturer in the world.  The company operates out of Finland, Germany, Russia, Sweden, the UK and the United States.

Regardless of the name changes, Helo has been at the forefront of the sauna and steam industry, keeping the Finnish tradition alive and well while designing products to meet the demands of modern society.

Finding Helo Saunas For Your Home

Helo saunas and related products are available at various dealerships around the world.  In the United States and Canada, there are about 30 or so distributors that carry their saunas.  The small number is due to the exclusivity of these saunas...they don't just let any pool supply place carry their product line like some companies do.

Although many of their products are quite expensive, there are affordable options like the Passport series, which has many of the features as their infrared sauna line at a much more affordable price.

Some of the other series' to consider include the Serenity, Onyx, Northern Star and Arctic Lights sauna rooms.

The far infrared offerings include the B series, the S series, and the 2 in 1 combination Infrasauna, which combines a traditional with an infrared unit.
