KOHPA® Technology is one of the world's most innovative heating solutions.
As part of the European Commission's Green Deal, we were selected as one of five innovative materials for the Green Materials Box.
In 2021, we presented KOHPA® on the TV start-up show “Die Höhle der Löwen” (German “Shark Tank”) and at the Greentech Festival in Berlin.
With KOHPA®, we are breaking the boundaries of conventional heating systems and completely rethinking heat.
Through our groundbreaking, electricity-conducting carbon fiber paper, we are creating a heating technology that is more sustainable, more efficient and more forward-looking than anything that has come before. KOHPA® Technology with the signature product KOHPA® therm stands worldwide for the next generation of heating - ultra-thin, flexible, without plastics and 12-18% lower energy consumption than conventional heating systems. A technology that revolutionizes the way we experience heat.
Natural fibers in combination with recycled carbon fibers ensure electrical conductivity.
High-tech processes are used to insert contact strips into the paper. This enables the paper to conduct electricity through contact strips and connections and convert it into heat in the low-voltage range.
KOHPA® is an innovative heating technology
based on electrically conductive carbon fiber paper.
The core product of the technology is KOHPA® therm, the thinnest and lightest heating solution in the world, which works completely without plastic and leaves an extremely low CO2 footprint. Thanks to the unique properties of the conductive paper, it can be integrated into existing systems to provide efficient and sustainable heating solutions. The infrared heat generated ensures even heating of surfaces, objects and the human body, resulting in a pleasant and healthy indoor climate.
KOHPA® Technology targets the global home technology market. The field is urgently looking for technologies to reduce acquisition, renovation and energy costs. At the same time, KOHPA® Technology can add a heating function to existing products from a wide range of industries.
The thinnest and lightest panel heater on the market.

Two skilled papermakers with a passion for new innovations. Walter Reichel, Composite and Paper Engineering Specialist, with decades of experience in the industry and Peter Helfer, Paper Engineering Specialist, successful with his own printing and paper factory in Dachau.
We develop the latest technological products made from natural and carbon fibers for a sustainable industry in a wide range of sectors and a green lifestyle at home. We are pleased that we have also been able to build up a network of innovation with our partners and are constantly expanding it.
FAQ
What is KOHPA® Technology?
KOHPA® Technology is an innovative heating solution based on conductive carbon fiber paper. KOHPA® therm offers a sustainable, flexible, and energy-efficient way to heat spaces, using infrared heating that evenly warms surfaces and objects, not just air.
What types of spaces can KOHPA® therm be used in?
KOHPA® therm can be used in a variety of spaces, from residential and commercial buildings to industrial applications. It is versatile and can be adapted to different environments, e.g. the aviation and lightweight construction industries.
How does KOHPA® therm work?
KOHPA® therm emits infrared heat, which directly warms surfaces like walls, floors, and ceilings. The technology is based on electrically conductive carbon fiber paper, converting low-voltage power into heat with high efficiency and minimal energy loss.
How does KOHPA® therm different from traditional heating systems?
Unlike traditional heating systems that warm the air through radiators or underfloor systems, KOHPA® therm uses infrared heating, which is more efficient as it directly warms surfaces and objects. This leads to less energy waste and a more comfortable indoor climate.
What are the potential energy savings with KOHPA® therm?
KOHPA® therm can save 12 18% energy compared to conventional heating systems. Thanks to the efficient infrared heat distribution, it enables lower room temperatures with a pleasant feeling of warmth at the same time.
Does KOHPA® therm require regular maintenance?
No, KOHPA® therm is a maintenance-free heating solution. The system ensures longevity and efficiency without the need for regular maintenance, making KOHPA® therm a cost-effective and problem-free option in the long term.
Can KOHPA® therm be installed in existing buildings?
Yes, KOHPA® therm can be easily integrated into existing buildings without the need for major renovation work. The system can be installed on walls and ceilings (e.g. plastered in) and can even be paired with solar panel systems or other renewable energy sources.
Can KOHPA® therm be combined with renewable energy sources?
Yes, KOHPA® therm can be combined with renewable energy systems such as solar panels or hydrogen storage. This makes it an ideal solution for those looking to further enhance their energy savings and sustainability.
Is KOHPA® therm environmentally friendly?
Yes, KOHPA® therm consists of 99% recyclable materials and is completely plastic free. Thanks to its energy efficiency, durability and the use of environmentally friendly materials, it helps to reduce the CO2 footprint and is therefore a sustainable alternative to conventional heating systems.
Is KOHPA® Technology safe to use?
Absolutely. KOHPA® therm has been tested by german TÜV and meets all the necessary safety standards for the construction and aviation industries. KOHPA® therm is operated with low voltage and is therefore suitable for use in private households, offices and industry. Technically, there is no danger from electrosmog.
