Production is based on the three pillars of product design, quality and technology. In addition to the appearance, the technical equipment and quality also play a role.

Bertazzoni's family history goes back to the 19th century. The family originally worked in the blacksmith's shop and over the years began producing freestanding stoves. Today, Smeg develops electrical appliances and small appliances for the kitchen.
