Kärcher high-pressure washer

Founded in 1935 by inventor Alfred Kärcher in Stuttgart, Germany, Kärcher is the world's leading provider of cleaning technology. The brand rose to international prominence in 1950 after developing Europe's first hot-water high-pressure cleaner.

To this day, the company remains a family-owned enterprise, headquartered in Winnenden, Germany. While the packaging shown specifically highlights 'Made in Germany,' Kärcher operates a global manufacturing network with factories in various countries including Italy, Romania, China, Brazil, Mexico, and the United States to serve international markets. The ultimate ownership resides with the Kärcher family, primarily through heirs Johannes Kärcher and Susanne Zimmermann von Siefart, ensuring the brand maintains its independent legacy and German engineering standards through the year 2026 and beyond.
