Hunter Stoves (Mells) Group was originally founded in 1970 in the South West of England, and is widely thought to be the first UK-based wood stove manufacturer; initially producing steel stoves with built-in boilers to run small and medium sized central heating systems. In 2003, Hunter Stoves bought the Parkray brand and moved its operations to the Exeter factory, continuing to develop both the Parkray and Hunter brands.

In 2008, Hunter Stoves Ltd bought a site in Camelford, Cornwall, and initially re-located the Research and Development department there, but it now incorporates the manufacturing of the stoves as well. In 2015 they rebranded as the Hunter Stoves Group, bringing all stove brands under the Hunter Stoves Group umbrella, including Herald, HS Gas, Di Lusso, Avalon, Cleanburn, Eco-ideal and Parkray brands. There are over 200 different designs of multifuel and wood stoves across the brands. The company employs over 55 people and distributes to most western European countries, South Africa, New Zealand and Japan.
