HISTORY
Otter Controls Limited has a long history and was founded in 1946 to manufacture "snap action" thermostats under a new innovative patent for a three legged bimetal blade which is still in wide use today !
The concept behind the Otter bimetallic switch was developed during the 1940's when Otter’s founder first experimented with bimetal controls to provide thermostats for electrically heated flying suits for the RAF. Since those early days Otter has remained independent and has become well known for quality, reliability but more importantly innovation and product design.
