Quality Stands the Test of TimeDr. Markus Miele (l), Dr. Reinhard Zinkann (r)

Out of the many different things created today, which of them will still be around in twenty years' time? Good architecture, of course, as well as Miele appliances that are manufactured and fitted today. This is because Miele appliances are designed to last for twenty years; this is not, however, the only common ground that we, a premium global brand, share with you as architects, designers and property developers.

Forever Better

More than 110 years ago, Miele's founding fathers expressed their vision when they embellished their first products with "Semper Melior" (Forever Better). Today, we are still a German family-owned company in fourth generation - and for us and all non-family board members, our forefathers' credo is still, to this very day, the benchmark and incentive for future developments. Quality is not static; it changes with users' requirements. The results are products that are designed with the focus always on people, their needs and their living space.

Ideas Become Reality

How are our living and working environments changing? How will we cook in the future? And what will we expect from our appliances in the future? When developing products, Miele confronts these questions with farsightedness and a constant focus on the needs of the user. This allows us to accomplish technical innovations and create a product design to complement the overall creative idea. Details such as minimum gaps between appliances and cabinetry, flush fronts, high-quality materials and surface finishes all contribute to different Design Worlds.

Assuming Responsibility

A huge number of Miele appliances are produced and then used professionally and privately on a daily basis. This engenders a certain level of responsibility, which we are proud to assume. Our products are therefore defined by efficiency, low consumption levels and longevity in addition to low levels of maintenance, timeless design and ease of use in terms of cleaning and operating. Production also plays an increasing role. In product development, production and operation, innovative thinking and covering all areas is ultimately rewarded by a positive ecological balance.

For us, as well as for you as architects and designers, a holistic regard for values, quality and responsibility towards people and the environment is simply part of the daily routine. With a sense of quality constantly in mind, we are here to support you with our expertise and desire to explore.
