About ROMMELSBACHER
From Stuttgart to Dinkelsbühl – inventive spirit leads to a quality brand.
In 1928, Gustav Rommelsbacher founded his company in Stuttgart with the construction of loudspeaker systems – innovative, courageous and ahead of his time. After the Second World War, he started afresh in Dinkelsbühl: in a garage, he developed electrical appliances under the name robusta, which were soon in demand internationally.
The small workshop grew into a steadily expanding family business. With high-quality technology, a clear vision and a great deal of commitment, the ROMMELSBACHER brand was created, which is now known worldwide and is gaining more and more fans. Our excellent kitchen appliances are characterised by durable quality, beautiful design and reliable service and repairability – for products that bring JOY for a long time.
