Gaggenau: 300 years and 33 years

Gaggenau is a home appliance brand known as a Rolls Royce in the world of automobiles. This year, he celebrates a special 333-year anniversary.

The company was founded in 1683 in the town of Gaggenau in southwest Germany by Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm von Baden. The business organized by him grew over time into a manufactory for the production of agricultural machinery and metal tools. In the 19th century, coal and gas stoves were manufactured at Gaggenau’s factories. In 1931, the management of the company passed into the hands of Otto von Blanquet, during this period Gaggenau first produced the electric stove.

Historical views of Gaggenau c manufactory. Georg von Blanket, manufacturer and cook.

In 1956, the son of Otto von Blanquet was at the helm of the company. A passionate admirer of culinary art, Georg was fascinated by an individually designed kitchen equipped with high-tech and easy-to-use appliances. Thanks to an innovative approach, Gaggenau has revolutionized the home appliance market: the world's first built-in appliances - an oven, an independent hob and an extractor hood.

Sven Schnee, head of Gaggenau International, explains: “333 years of experience in metal processing is an achievement that not every company can boast. We are proud that Gaggenau is the only manufacturer of household appliances with such long traditions and rich heritage. Gaggenau is not just a kitchen appliance, it is the soul of the house.

We adhere to handicraft culture and traditions even today, when we have become a large industrial enterprise. Another advantage is high personification of devices. We are personality-oriented, striving to affect the consumer emotionally - so that he gets positive emotions during cooking. It is also important that our competitors talk about the design of a separate product, while we are talking about brand design. We prefer expensive materials that are carefully selected. Their number is limited. Fundamental is high-grade steel - solid, not alloy. High-tech equipment is responsible for its processing. Gaggenau appliances last 25 years or more. Their design is not outdated - it is timeless. These things live a long time, without requiring replacement, and become classics. "
