In 1950, Karl Erik Andersson decided to build his mother a washing machine. To create the best possible durability and washing result, he refused to compromise on materials. The result was a washing machine crafted from solid stainless steel, standing on four cast iron legs. A design so convincing that it was taken into production not long after. Today, more than 60 years later, Asko has become a global brand that designs and develops premium kitchen and laundry appliances. Asko products meet the most stringent demands on design, function, durability and environmental awareness. Asko manufactures products to extremely high standards with attention to the finest of the details. Innovation driven by craftsmanship and a deep understanding of customer needs, have made ASKO’s products some of the best the market offers today.
