Leifheit household products

Founded in 1959 by Günter and Ingeborg Leifheit in Nassau, Germany, Leifheit has grown into one of Europe's leading suppliers of household items. The brand is widely recognized for its high-quality cleaning systems, laundry care products, and kitchen tools, such as the iconic Pegasus drying racks and Profi floor wipers.

Historically, the company transitioned from a family-run enterprise to a publicly traded corporation listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. While it was briefly owned by the ITT Corporation and later Deutsche Bank in the late 20th century, it currently operates as an independent Aktiengesellschaft (AG). Manufacturing remains centered in Europe, particularly in Germany and Blatná, Czech Republic, ensuring the precision engineering and durability associated with the brand's 'German quality' identity.
