Gaggenau Domestic Appliances

Appliance Manufacturer & Brand Information

Gaggenau has been around forever, it is one of the oldest brand names in the appliance industry with roots that can be traced back to almost medieval times if you believe the rhetoric from the company. However it wasn't until the 1930's that the company actually started to focus on making appliances, at that time cookers.

What is generally omitted from the history of Gaggenau on it's sale literature is that it was bought by the BSH Group, Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte in 1995 and is entirely owned by the BSH Group. Quite how the brand is operated within the group is open to speculation but it does seem to have the leading technological products and design elements before the lower market position brands have access to those elements.

It is fair to say that, with the exception of a very elite few brands, Gaggenau sits right at the very top of the pricing scale and remains a very exclusive brand that is quite probably beyond the financial reach of many people. In other words, it is extremely expensive products and with some very niche ones.
