Miele

This successful product from Miele was to be something very special. The name says it all: "Juwel" (translation: jewel). But what was it used for? The "Juwel" first appeared in 1908 in East Westphalia – mainly on farms. It was available in ten sizes to suit different needs. It was a further development of the first appliance launched by Miele 125 years earlier. In its prime, it was so convincing that it became a bestseller and won many awards, including international ones. Any suggestions? #Miele #ImmerBesser #Anniversary #125years #tbt #throwback #riddlefromthepast

Miele products keep their promises. They are the result of extensive and complex quality and durability tests. This claim has always set us apart. How innovative we are in our procedure is demonstrated today, for example, by sophisticated test environments for electronic components that have to withstand vibration tables and temperature shock cabinets for days on end. In the past, we have already come up with many ideas to ensure that our products perform well. One of the most original test methods is the so-called load test of a Miele bicycle, probably dating back to the 1920s. At that time, the "steel steed" was under no circumstances allowed to yield to the weight of four men (approx. 375 kg). "Immer Besser" thanks to full (physical) commitment – yesterday and today. #Miele #ImmerBesser #Anniversary #125years #throwback #tbt

An "environmentally friendly test winner" from Miele: this is how Stiftung Warentest described our appliance in its latest test. 🙌 With the top score of 1.9, our KFN 7734 C fridge-freezer combination outperforms the other appliances in the category of built-in appliances. Our appliance not only consumed the least power, it also received top marks for its cooling performance, quiet operation and energy efficiency. Independently of the StiWa test, the model has since been upgraded with a number of technical changes. For example, freezing, which was only rated "satisfactory" in the test, is now much faster and the operating noise has become even quieter. Additional convenience features and a new visual door alarm are on top. Together with the warning tone, the interior lighting now flashes – very helpful, especially for people with special requirements. #Miele #ImmerBesser #Testwinner #StiftungWarentest Read more in our press release 👇

Today we celebrate 125 years of Miele 🙌 On 1 July 1899, Carl Miele Sr. and Reinhard Zinkann registered their new company Miele & Cie. with the vision of making better products rather than cheaper ones. This commitment to 'Immer Besser' has guided us through 125 years of remarkable achievements. Starting in a small factory in Herzebrock with just 11 employees and a cream separator as our first product, we launched our first round wooden tub washing machine, the 'Meteor', just two years later. In 1907, Miele moved to Gütersloh, where we continued to expand our innovative product range and workforce. Today, Miele is one of Germany's most respected brands, employing over 22,000 people in 49 countries. Our journey has been marked by many successes and pioneering milestones, as well as challenges and bold decisions that have shaped our company. From early social responsibility and initiatives such as a company health insurance fund in 1909, to leading the way in environmental sustainability and winning the German Sustainability Award in 2014 and 2023 – Miele has always pushed the boundaries. We've risen from a manufacturer of cream seperators and butter churns to a world leader in premium kitchen, laundry, floorcare and medical appliances. As we celebrate our 125th anniversary today, we look back on our heritage of quality and innovation, while also looking forward to delighting our customers and adapting to the challenges of the future. #Miele #ImmerBeser #125Years #Anniversary #Quality #Innovation #Sustainability

IFA Kick-off in Berlin: 125 years of quality and innovation meet 100 years IFA New standards in laundry care and design with the new ‘Nova Edition’ and new colour worlds for the build-in appliances for a wide range of options – these are two of the topics Reinhard Zinkann, Executive Director and Co-Proprietor of the Miele Group, announced at the IFA Berlin Kick-off in this, for us, very special year.

The Miele Group announces that OIaf Bartsch, who celebrated his 60th birthday last summer, has decided that he will be stepping down as Executive Director Finance & Administration in the first half of 2025 for reasons of age. The other members of the Executive Board as well as the Miele Group Family Council ‘respect this step with the deepest regret’.    The new Executive Director Finance & Administration will be Stefan Koss, most recently CEO and President North America at BSH Hausgeräte GmbH. He will be appointed Executive Director on January 1, 2025. The exact date of the handover of responsibility in the first half of 2025 is yet to be determined.   We are certain that Stefan Koss, with his professional expertise, many years of experience in the industry and strong international focus, is an excellent fit for Miele and will also provide valuable impulses for the further development of the company.
