Generation change at CLAGE · 11. Juli 2025
After more than three decades of successful management, Jörg and Joachim Gerdes are handing over the management of CLAGE GmbH to their sons Alexander and Jonas Gerdes. In recent years, both sons have gradually taken on responsibility and developed key areas of the company.
Alexander Gerdes, a graduate industrial engineer, has several years of international consulting experience (including at Porsche Consulting). He has been responsible for international sales since 2019, focusing on technical areas and driving forward the optimization of processes.
Jonas Gerdes got to know CLAGE from the ground up as part of his dual business studies. He has been Head of Human Resources since 2016, promoting a modern corporate culture and shaping internal structures for the future.
The baton was symbolically handed over to the next generation at the summer party on July 11, 2025. Alexander and Jonas Gerdes can continue to build on the trust and support of their fathers, who will remain associated with the company as shareholders and provide advice based on their experience. The new management stands for entrepreneurial continuity with a clear focus: sustainable growth, technological excellence, customer proximity and the responsible use of resources.

CLAGE at the ISH 2023 · 17. März 2023
After a four-year break due to the pandemic, the international sanitary, heating and air-conditioning industry finally met again for intensive networking at the ISH in Frankfurt am Main from 13 to 17 March 2023. More than 150,000 visitors from 154 countries came to find out about innovative future technologies. Trend topics such as climate protection and security of supply were present everywhere. CLAGE impressed the trade public in Hall 12.1 on more than 200 square metres with many application-related hot-water installations. A particular visitor magnet was the fountain in the centre of the stand. The large LED wall with the friendly drop of water was also very well received by the visitors. CLAGE's clear recommendation to the industry: separate heating and hot water! In new buildings and renovations, modern heating systems should be combined with decentrally installed electric instantaneous water heaters. The hot water is then provided just-in-time, directly at the desired temperature. In this way, energy losses are consistently avoided and independence from oil and gas can be achieved. The visitors were able to study how this can be implemented in practice using a 3D house model made of Plexiglas. On the accompanying iPad, various heating and water systems in the house could be faded in and out, and concrete devices were suggested when zooming in on the rooms. You can visit the virtual house model here. So much practical relevance enthused the visitors and ensured many good conversations. For CLAGE, ISH 2023 was a complete success!
New design for compact instant water heaters
05. Januar 2022
The compact electric instantaneous water heaters of the C-series from CLAGE provide a fast and efficient hot water supply in the kitchen. From 2022, they will now appear with a new design. The »CFX-U« comes with a new Bluetooth remote control with e-paper display, high-quality real glass cover and modern sensor buttons.
The temperature of the »CEX« and »CEX-U« models can now be read on a large LED display. The temperature is set directly on the unit via the new sensor buttons. This has once again significantly improved user-friendliness and the new units now also match the other two instantaneous water heater series from CLAGE perfectly in terms of appearance.
