Who are we?

For more than 160 years, the WMF brand has stood for the best in cooking, drinking and dining. Every day, more than 100 million people around the world use products from WMF, Silit and Kaiser to prepare, cook, bake, eat and drink in their homes. And when they’re not doing that, they’re enjoying coffee specialities and foods prepared by the hotel and catering industry using WMF, Schaerer, Curtis and HEPP products. Our employees are passionate about bringing people together, whether at home, on the move or at fine-dining establishments, in order to provide them with shared moments that are both precious and delicious. All this with products that feature outstanding design, perfect functionality and excellent quality to make every culinary experience a real joy. Founded in Geislingen an der Steige in 1853, our business has a long tradition and has been part of the French Groupe SEB since the end of 2016.
