Gigaset cordless telephone

Gigaset is a prominent German communications technology brand, best known for its DECT cordless telephones. The brand has a heritage deeply rooted in Siemens AG; it was originally the mobile and cordless phone division of Siemens before being spun off. Gigaset is particularly notable in the electronics industry for maintaining a significant portion of its manufacturing operations within Germany, specifically at its specialized factory in Bocholt, which allows it to carry the 'Made in Germany' seal for many of its products.

Over the years, the brand transitioned through various ownership structures, including a period under Arques Industries and later attracting investment from Goldin Financial Holdings. In early 2024, following insolvency proceedings, Gigaset was acquired by VTech Holdings Limited, a global leader in electronic learning products and cordless telephony based in Hong Kong. This acquisition has integrated Gigaset into VTech's extensive global portfolio while maintaining its primary operations and brand identity centered in Germany.
