Smeg Freestanding Cooker

Smeg is an iconic Italian home appliance manufacturer known for combining technology with high-end design. Founded in 1948 by Vittorio Bertazzoni in Guastalla, near Reggio Emilia, the brand's name is an acronym for Smalterie Metallurgiche Emiliane Guastalla. The company remains deeply rooted in its Italian heritage, with its primary production facilities located in Northern Italy (Guastalla, Corte Tegge, and Chieti), though they maintain a global presence through various subsidiaries.

Ownership of Smeg has remained within the Bertazzoni family since its inception, maintaining its status as a private, family-owned enterprise. Over the decades, Smeg has evolved from a metallurgical smelting and enameling company into a luxury appliance brand famous for its 1950s retro-style refrigerators and professional-grade cooking ranges. Its products are characterized by collaborations with world-renowned architects and designers, reinforcing its position as a symbol of 'Made in Italy' excellence in the global market.
