Brand history and where they are made

Initially, the company, which appeared in Germany in 1883, specialized in metal processing. In 1957, the first plant for the production of home appliances was opened. The product range gradually expanded, and by 1968 the company, with representative offices in other countries, entered the world market.

Then the company merged with the Austrian manufacturer Elektra Bregennz GmbH and the Italian company El.Fi. The company was later acquired by the French corporation Groupe Brandt.

In 2002, the Turkish company Arçelik became the owner of the Blomberg brand, and production was moved from Germany to Turkey.

These products appeared in the Russian Federation in 2004. The little popularity of Blomberg equipment in our country can be explained by the company’s marketing strategy. It is not focused on mass sales of products, but is represented in some retail chains.
