SMEG Instruments

Smeg, founded in 1948 by Vittorio Bertazzoni in Guastalla, a town near Reggio Emilia, is the Italian company that has been able to evolve simple household appliances into authoritative interpreters of "Made in Italy". The Bertazzoni family's productive and entrepreneurial history begins way back in the 19th century. Starting out as blacksmiths, the Bertazzoni's, over time have branched out into other areas becoming cooker manufacturers and, at a later time, manufacturers of machines for professional use such as washer-disinfectors and glassware washers.

After consolidating its position in the household appliances sector, Smeg diversified its production by inserting new professional divisions: one dedicated to products for Restaurants, Smeg Foodeservice Solutions, and in 1985, one for washing and thermal disinfection, Smeg Instruments.

The first professional glassware washers were produced based on the company's knowledge in the washing sector, and soon, the changing needs related to performance and certification lead to the development of machines complying with the regulations of the medical sector, i.e. the increasingly efficient and specific washer-disinfectors equipped with baskets and trolleys.

To meet the market demand, particularly challenging in terms of performance and flexibility, Smeg Instruments subsequently launches a range of professional refrigeration products.

Know-how, attention to detail and to the components quality are the distinctive features of Smeg Instruments's italianity and of its constant commitment in creating equipment for professional use up to the requirements demanded by the market.

Not only efficient products and able to meet the various washing and preservation needs, but also solid, well-designed machines to transform every workplace in pleasant environment where to carry on business.

SMEG's certified laboratories strive to develop solutions that respond to the demands of contemporary living, drawing on all of the company's experience, and the most-advanced technology. Essential qualities such as durability, safety, flexibility, and attractiveness can be seen in all SMEG products thanks to the rigorous design process every product goes through.

The stringent testing that is repeatedly carried out during the production process is proof that SMEG is 100% committed to ensuring products are robust and reliable. Moreover, SMEG pays particular attention to the usability of all of its products, to ensure that they are easy-to-use, and intelligently-manage energy consumption, thanks to cutting-edge interfaces, and programming solutions.

Design

Design, for SMEG, is central: the way that a product communicates with its surroundings and enables users to interact with it.

SMEG's internal design studio, which carries out painstaking research into aesthetics and style, has the support of internationally-renowned designers and architects such as Guido Canali, Mario Bellini, the Piano Design studio, and Matteo Bazzicalupo and Raffaella Mangiarotti (deepdesign). Knowing how to combine technology with style is the key to SMEG creating products which can become truly iconic.

Sustainability

Designing beauty, for people and the planet.

For Smeg, sustainable development means investing in the quality of life of its employees, establishing an ongoing dialogue with them under the banner of transparency and cooperation.

For Smeg, sustainable development means ensuring a healthy and hospitable planet for future generations, and guaranteeing them access to all natural resources through a regenerative approach.

Limiting consumption with a view to continuous improvement. Reducing energy consumption and controlling emissions in the production phases are key elements for a company that aims to become less impactful on the environment.
