Kärcher high-pressure cleaners and cleaning systems

Kärcher is a global leader in cleaning technology, recognized primarily for its iconic yellow high-pressure cleaners. Founded in 1935 by inventor Alfred Kärcher in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt, Germany, the company initially focused on industrial heating elements and furnace technology. It revolutionized the cleaning industry in 1950 with the development of Europe's first hot-water high-pressure cleaner. Since then, the brand has expanded into a massive range of products for both commercial and domestic use, including steam cleaners, window vacs, and municipal floor sweeping equipment.

Today, Kärcher remains a family-owned business, which allows it to maintain a long-term strategic focus on innovation and sustainability. While its global headquarters and primary R&D centers are located in Winnenden, Germany, the company operates a sophisticated global production network. Manufacturing takes place in several countries including Germany, Italy, Romania, China, Brazil, Mexico, and the United States to serve local markets efficiently. The brand is synonymous with engineering excellence and continues to be the ultimate benchmark in the high-pressure cleaning sector worldwide.
