If you come across specialist terminology with which
you’re not immediately familiar, we suggest you take a look
at the glossary we have put together for you at the back
of the magazine. There you’ll find more than 150 specialist
terms with detailed descriptions, arranged in alphabetical
order. However, the best point of reference for
Gaggenau is our appliances – because they speak for
themselves.

History.

Gaggenau was founded in 1683 and has been involved
in the manufacture of metal consumer durables from the
outset. Before long, the company came to specialise in
enamel products, and Gaggenau’s recipe for its sturdy
oven enamel became the basis for the success of its char-
coal and gas ovens, which it continued to manufacture
until well into the 20th century. In 1961, Gaggenau was
taken over by the visionary entrepreneur Georg von
Blanquet, under whose leadership it became a premium
international brand. Von Blanquet was excited by the
idea of custom-made fitted kitchens, something which
was revolutionary for that time. A passionate cook in his
spare time, von Blanquet accepted no compromises in
his quest to create professional appliances incorpo-
rating a plain and functional design – a creed to which
Gaggenau has remained faithful to this day.
A variety of glass composites are used as raw materials
for the typical blue enamel of our ovens.

Craftsmanship.
Gaggenau appliances are crafted by hand in a process
involving many stages and assembled piece by piece in
our workshops. Manufacturing our ovens involves count-
less steps which can only be carried out manually, such
as the assembly of fronts and cable looms. Even the
control modules on our 200 series ovens can only be
polished manually, for instance. Our philosophy de-
mands loving attention to all details. This enables us to
keep hold of the things which are valuable and dear to
us.

module is polished by hand and the knobs are attached
manually.

Quality.
Only the toughest, best-quality materials are suitable
for consistent use in a kitchen over a period of many
years. The grinding unit of our fully automatic espresso
machine is a good example – it operates almost without
wear, and its innovative design makes it unusually quiet.
These details, used in the selection of materials and
processes, may not be visible, but make a recognisable
difference to the taste. That’s because the grinding
unit’s three different grinding zones guarantee an ideal
grain size distribution and thus enable the aroma to
develop perfectly.

machine’s grinding unit. It is made of high-quality
ceramic material and is extremely long-lived.
