Gaggenau Hausgeräte (en: Gaggenau Home Appliances) is a German manufacturer of high-end home appliances. The company won at the 2008 IF Design Awards in every category in which it had nominations.
Gaggenau Hausgeräte is currently a popular German brand that manufactures primarily domestic appliances. The company was founded in 1683 in Black Forest, (Germany) by Markgraf Ludwig Wilhelm. In 1873 Michael Flürscheim became the company’s CEO, and affiliated Gaggenau Hausgeräte with the German railway network. In 1879, the inventor and entrepreneur Theodor Bergmann joined the company, which he expaned through a range of products. In 1893, Bergmann left the company and the company started focusing production on bicycles and cast products under the brand name Badenia.
From 1991 to 1998, Timothy Jacob Jensen served as Gaggenau Hausgeräte’s chief designer, creating and developing a range of products including ceramic hobs, built-in ovens, extractor hoods, dishwashers, washing machines, and tumble dryers. A number of these products received awards, primarily in Germany. These include the EB900 Built-in oven and CK494 Glass ceramic hob. In 1995, Gaggenau Hausgeräte was acquired by Bosch-Siemens Hausgeräte (BSH Hausgeräte).
