Product focus – De Dietrich
If you are a car racing enthusiast the name De Dietrich may be familiar to you for reasons other than a company at the forefront in the manufacturer of quality kitchen and laundry appliances. In 1897 a collaboration began with Ettore Bugatti; culminating in the legendary De Dietrich-Bugatti racing car. More recently De Dietrich is credited with the world’s most advanced zoneless induction cooktop.
The automobile industry is just one of many areas De Dietrich has been active in since its origins in the late 1600’s. Designed and manufactured mainly in France this prestigious brand has been at the cutting edge of design and invention, responsible for many of the features we now commonly see on ovens and cooktops – 1968 saw De Dietrich introduced the world’s first pyrolytic oven range & in 1997 they launched the world’s first steam oven and invented ‘cold door’ ovens.
In 1910, De Dietrich launched the world’s first domestic oven, the Mertzwiller Cooker
