About Us
Our Story
Kelray Heating was founded by Kelvin Davis and Ray Maddix. Kelvin and Ray were active in the infrared radiant heating market in New Zealand since the early 1990’s. Noticing that the outdoor infrared heaters available at the time could not stand up to New Zealand's salt-laden atmospheric conditions, they set out to create the world's toughest, most robust outdoor heating solution. The pair developed their brand new line of outdoor heaters - the "Kelray". Kelray heaters have built a strong reputation locally and globally for their ability to stand up to even the toughest outdoor conditions.
The Future of Kelray
Kelray Heating is now owned and operated by Clive Menkin. Clive recently acquired Kelray Heating from Kelvin and Ray who he knew through the local Rotary Club.
Clive has many years experience in the service industry and brings some fresh, innovative ideas to Kelray. Clive will further expand the Kelray brand throughout NZ and Australia, as well as opening up new avenues internationally.
Clive is joined by his son, Rob Menkin. An experienced electrician, Rob operates Kelray Electrical, a subsidiary of Kelray Heating that assists in the installation and maintenance of Kelray Heaters.
