About AEG
AEG is a German manufacturer of high-performance household and commercial appliances with a heritage of innovation dating back to the late 19th century.
Founded as the Deutsche Edison-Gesellschaft für angewandte Elektricität (German Edison Company for Applied Electricity) by Emil Rathenau after acquiring the rights to Edison's patents in Germany, the company quickly expanded beyond lighting into various electrical applications. This pioneering spirit established AEG as one of Europe's first comprehensive electrical manufacturers.
The brand gained prominence through its collaboration with industrial designer Peter Behrens, who created a unified corporate identity that extended from products to factories, establishing one of the world's first comprehensive corporate design programs and influencing modern industrial design principles.
Throughout its history, AEG has been responsible for numerous innovations in consumer and industrial electrical technology. After various corporate transformations, the AEG brand for household appliances is now owned by Electrolux, while other divisions operate under different corporate structures.
In its current incarnation as a premium appliance brand, AEG focuses on sophisticated kitchen and laundry appliances that combine German engineering with Scandinavian design sensibilities. Their product philosophy emphasizes precision, efficiency, and intuitive functionality with features that enhance everyday tasks through technological innovation.
AEG's current product range includes cooking appliances, refrigeration, dishwashers, laundry machines, and small domestic appliances, all positioned in the premium segment with emphasis on energy efficiency, durability, and advanced features that anticipate user needs while delivering superior performance.
