About Miele
There are only a few brands in the world that
have sustained their vision, traditions and high-quality standard for
more than a century. Fewer still that can claim consistent family
ownership and international brand name integrity. And only one that is
recognized for creating the world’s most innovative appliances. Founded
in Germany in 1899 with a single promise of Immer Besser, a phrase
meaning Forever Better, Miele has dynamically grown to become the
world’s largest family-owned and operated appliance company with over
16,600 employees, 12 production facilities, representation in nearly 100
countries and annual turnover of €2.83bn, approximately USD$3.62bn
(2009/10).
As a premium appliance brand represented on all continents, Miele is steadfastly committed to the highest quality, performance and environmental standards. The company’s innovative heritage, state-of-the-art design and engineering aesthetic have inspired comparison to other powerhouse German brands synonymous with innovation: Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
Miele’s range of exceptional consumer appliances includes: vacuum cleaners; laundry systems; rotary irons; dishwashers; built-in convection, speed and steam ovens; cooktops; ventilation hoods; refrigeration; wine storage and coffee systems. Additionally, Miele Professional (the commercial product division) offers dishwashers, washing machines, tumble dryers and rotary irons for commercial use as well as washer-disinfectors for medical, dental and laboratory applications.
