De'Longhi Magnifica S espresso machine

De'Longhi is a globally recognized Italian icon in the coffee and small appliance industry. Founded at the beginning of the 20th century, the brand has grown from a local workshop into a powerhouse of household innovation, specifically revolutionizing the home espresso market with its fully automatic machines. The company is famous for blending traditional Italian engineering with modern user-friendly technology.

While the brand maintains deep roots in Treviso, Italy, its manufacturing footprint is international. High-end espresso machines and professional-grade appliances are frequently manufactured in Italy and Romania to ensure premium quality control. However, for broader consumer electronics and specific components, the company also utilizes specialized manufacturing facilities in China. Despite this global production strategy, the design, engineering, and core brand identity remain strictly tied to Italian heritage.

Ownership of the brand remains under the De'Longhi Group, a publicly traded company where the founding family still holds a significant controlling interest. This stability has allowed the brand to expand its portfolio through strategic acquisitions, such as Kenwood and Braun household, making it one of the largest small domestic appliance groups in the world.
