Gigaset COMFORT 500 HX cordless handset

Gigaset is a historic German communications brand originally established as a division of Siemens AG. The COMFORT 500 HX is notably manufactured in Bocholt, Germany, at the company's dedicated production facility, which is a rare distinction in the consumer electronics market often dominated by Asian manufacturing.

Following many years as an independent publicly traded company (Gigaset AG), the brand underwent a significant transition in early 2024. After facing financial difficulties, the Gigaset business, including its production facilities and brand rights, was acquired by VTech Holdings Limited. VTech is a global leader in electronic learning products and cordless telephony, and it has maintained the German production site to preserve the brand's reputation for quality and 'Made in Germany' engineering.
