Gaggenau

Gaggenau was founded in 1681 by Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm von Baden. He established an ironworks in the German town Gaggenau, and named the company after the town. It is both the oldest and widest distributed appliance brand. Although technology has moved on considerably since the 17th century, Gaggenau has embraced the changes and has been credited for introducing European convection ovens, the pyrolytic self-cleaning mode, and 36-inch ovens in North America.

Gaggenau’s world headquarters is still located in the city of Gaggenau, Germany, to maintain some of the tradition and history of the company. But Gaggenau kitchen appliances are manufactured in several countries across Europe and North America. In the United States, Gaggenau is manufactured by the Bosch Corporation.
