Among other products small iron pans and stove details were produced in the smithy.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the Soviet annexation of Estonia, the company was nationalised in 1940 and due to different merging processes both the products and the experience was lost for the public. 57 years passed by. During this time the Estonian Republic was restored, entrepreneurship was reallowed and the perspective line of business needed to be started again.<\/p>\n<p>In order to maintain historical continuity, the brothers Ivar and Laur Suurv\u00e4li revived their family traditions.<br \/>\nIn 1997, the company Symbol O\u00dc was founded and the first pans were made. The pans were a lot larger than in 1925, but the material remained the same. The generations-long experience confirms that the service life of a <strong>thick-bottomed iron pan<\/strong> can be up to 100 years.<\/p>\n<p>In 2008, the manufacturing company GrillSymbol O\u00dc was established, the company started to develop pans that would beet the highest demands. By now, this has become our most popular line of products, bearing the name \u201cPRO\u201d \u2013 like a professional. The PRO products are highly durable and safe, easy to maintain and the pans have a long service life.<\/p>\n<p>In 2006-2007 we expanded our product range and in addition to producing pans, we also started to manufacture <span style=\"color: #000080;\"><a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/grillsymbol.de\/en\/produkt-kategorie\/bbq-smokers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>BBQ Smokers<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. For developing the product, we used the experiences of many BBQ experts, who have used our products to take part in BBQ competitions in Estonia, Germany and the UK. Our Q-series Smokers are highly related both by professionals and household consumers, because our meat tastes exquisitely.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, we launched the pans from the <strong>\u201cBasic\u201d series.<\/strong> In comparison to the <strong>\u201cPRO\u201d<\/strong> series, \u201cBasic\u201d is cheaper and includes only the main details that a pan has to have.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, we returned to our roots and revived the experience we have producing outdoor fire pits. Our fire pits are designed keeping in mind the life style of a northern person: <strong>simplicity, practicality, quality materials<\/strong> and a minimalistic design combined with mythological symbols.<\/p>\n<p>GrillSymbol is still a family company. The fifth generation is growing up with fresh ideas.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6005&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5710&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<h4 style=\"color: #151515;text-align: center;font-family:Roboto;font-weight:100;font-style:normal\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\">Our Team<\/h4><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"pt-member-contact wpb_content_element img-pos-left flag-en\"><div class=\"text-wrapper\"><div class=\"contact-img-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/grillsymbol.de\/wp-content\/themes\/handystore-child\/img\/DSC_1030.jpg\" width=\"312\" height=\"312\"><\/div><h3>Laur Suurv\u00e4li<\/h3><span>Area Sales Manager Europe\/CEO<\/span><p>Mob: +372 56 669 723<br>laur@grillsymbol.com<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/grillsymbol.de\/wp-content\/plugins\/sitepress-multilingual-cms\/res\/flags\/en.png\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/grillsymbol.de\/wp-content\/plugins\/sitepress-multilingual-cms\/res\/flags\/et.png\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/grillsymbol.de\/wp-content\/plugins\/sitepress-multilingual-cms\/res\/flags\/fi.png\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"pt-member-contact wpb_content_element img-pos-left flag-se\"><div class=\"text-wrapper\"><div class=\"contact-img-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/grillsymbol.de\/wp-content\/themes\/handystore-child\/img\/annika.jpg\" width=\"286\" height=\"286\"><\/div><h3>Annika Aas<\/h3><span>on temporary leave<\/span><span>Area Sales Manager Scandinavia<\/span><p>Mob: +372 58 536 820<br>annika@grillsymbol.com<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/grillsymbol.de\/wp-content\/plugins\/sitepress-multilingual-cms\/res\/flags\/sv.png\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/grillsymbol.de\/wp-content\/plugins\/sitepress-multilingual-cms\/res\/flags\/en.png\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/grillsymbol.de\/wp-content\/plugins\/sitepress-multilingual-cms\/res\/flags\/da.png\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/grillsymbol.de\/wp-content\/plugins\/sitepress-multilingual-cms\/res\/flags\/no.png\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"pt-member-contact wpb_content_element img-pos-left flag-se\"><div class=\"text-wrapper\"><div class=\"contact-img-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/grillsymbol.de\/wp-content\/themes\/handystore-child\/img\/bertil-4.jpg\" width=\"286\" height=\"286\"><\/div><h3>Bertil Djupsund<\/h3><span>Area Sales Manager Scandinavia<\/span><p>Mob: +46 70 8108877<br>bertil@grillsymbol.com<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/grillsymbol.de\/wp-content\/plugins\/sitepress-multilingual-cms\/res\/flags\/sv.png\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/grillsymbol.de\/wp-content\/plugins\/sitepress-multilingual-cms\/res\/flags\/en.png\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-4 vc_column_container wpb_column\"><div class=vc_column-inner><div class=wpb_wrapper><div class=\"flag-se img-pos-left pt-member-contact wpb_content_element\"><div class=text-wrapper><div class=contact-img-wrapper><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grillsymbol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Liisa-Noukas.jpg\"alt=\"\"height=280 width=280><\/div><h3>Liisa N\u00f5ukas<\/h3><p>Mob: +372 58 536 820<br>liisa@grillsymbol.com<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/grillsymbol.de\/wp-content\/plugins\/sitepress-multilingual-cms\/res\/flags\/en.png\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/grillsymbol.de\/wp-content\/plugins\/sitepress-multilingual-cms\/res\/flags\/et.png\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/grillsymbol.de\/wp-content\/plugins\/sitepress-multilingual-cms\/res\/flags\/it.png\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDZGl2JTNFJTBBJTNDaDQlMjBzdHlsZSUzRCUyMmZvbnQtZmFtaWx5JTNBJTI3Um9ib3RvJTI3JTNCJTIwZm9udC13ZWlnaHQlM0ElMjBsaWdodGVyJTNCJTIyJTNFR3JpbGxTeW1ib2wtJTIwZXhwZXJpZW5jZXMlMjBzaW5jZSUyMDE5MjUlM0MlMkZoNCUzRSUzQyUyRmRpdiUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]The first predecessor of modern GrillSymbol is the smith Johannes Moisar, who opened a smithy \u2013 ironmongery in 1925 in Tallinn by the Paldiski avenue.
