History of Miele:

Did you know that the roughly 120-year-old company we know as Miele began its life in Germany in June of 1899 with two men at the forefront, Carl Miele and Reinhard Zinkann? Their original aim was to establish a factory for making cream separators. That's right, the home appliance powerhouse we know today was once in the dairy industry. In 1903 they got their start in the home appliance industry with their first washing machine. And by 1923, they were on washing machine model number 50. Within the next year, the expanded factory in Bielefeld is finally up and running. In 1925 Miele manufactured the first gas and coal-powered washing machines designed for indoor use. Then finally, in 1931, Miele introduced its first vacuum cleaner in the "shape of a torpedo" named the Model L, a design similar to those of today.

By 1935, their vacuum sales have skyrocketed, and advanced models with simplified operation and attractive prices resulted in the substantially quick growth of sales for the company. However, in 1940, due to the war, the production of household appliances was significantly reduced. As an example, only 22,000 washing machines (about 10,000 were Miele) were allowed to be manufactured during these hard times. Things pick back up for Miele in 1943 when the German food industry urgently need stoves and feed cookers. From 1955 till now, the company's primary focus has been manufacturing household appliances for the kitchen, laundry, and floor care, as well as commercial equipment in places like medical facilities and hotels. Miele's goal has always been to be the world's most trusted and desirable premium brand. Miele's company mission statement has never changed since 1899. "Immer Besser," meaning "forever better," has been the hallmark of a historically beloved and world-renowned company.
