Looking back

AEG was founded as the Deutsche Edison-Gesellschaft für angewandte Elektricität in 1883 by Emil Rathenau. A merger with subsidiary Telefunken AG and subsequent acquisitions by Daimler AG and finally Electrolux shaped AEG into the forward-thinking company it is now. Innovation is at the heart of everything we do at AEG. It is the driving force behind our best-known inventions for the home, from creating the first electric refrigerator to the first heat pump technology for tumble dryers. It is the inspiration behind our sustainable materials. It’s our history and our future.

Looking Forward

Tomorrow begins today. The way we eat will change. The
way we dress will change. The way we live will change. We know how technology can enhance the world around us. That's why we make sure our appliances not only exceed your needs today, but also embrace tomorrow's technology to fit your future requirements.

Form and function combine

In 1907, the visionary architect Peter Behrens was appointed Artistic Consultant at AEG. For his work with AEG, Behrens is considered the founder of modern industrial design. Professor Behrens had a simple but powerful design philosophy: ‘Perfekt in Form und Funktion’ . He worked tirelessly to create not only the most functional AEG products, but also the most aesthetically appealing.

Form and Function Evolve

Inside every appliance, you’ll find intelligent technology and responsive design, guaranteeing you exceptional performance and results time after time. You’ll discover that one touch redefines what’s possible at home. We design our appliances around you - putting you in complete control and guaranteeing exceptional performance and results. Time after time.

Design … is about creating forms that accord with the character of the object and that show new technologies to advantage
