Founded in 1948 by Vittorio Bertazonni, Smeg originally specialised in enamelling and metal work, and only started to produce its first cooking appliances in 1956.
Smeg is currently operated by third generation Bertazzoni entrepreneurs who keep the memory of its beginnings alive in the Italian name: Smalterie Metalluriche Emiliane Guastalla (Guastalla Emilia Enamel Works).
Smeg has 5 production plants in Italy. Their certified laboratories, thanks to their in-depth knowledge of materials and to state-of-the-art technology, interpret the needs of contemporary living, expressing essential qualities in the products, including durability, safety, flexible use, energy efficiency and enjoyability.
For Smeg, style is first and foremost a distinctive notion, a product communication approach to enjoying the household appliance. Attention to detail and design solutions bring homes that reflect the image of their occupants to life. With Smeg, appliances take centre stage in the heart of the home, a place where people can congregate.
