At home in the world
"Miele is at home in the world – and the world at home at Miele!"
(Dr. Axel Kniehl, Executive Director Marketing and Sales)
An international presence is just as a given here at Miele as the highest possible quality. For us, it goes far beyond the operational cooperation with our production and sales locations. The diversity of nationalities and cultures as well as the unlimited networking of our employees creates something very special every day: a global Miele culture that enriches all of us in terms of insights and experiences.
8,800 of our 20,100 employees work in Miele subsidiaries and plants outside of Germany. For most of the Miele employees, it is already a matter of course to work as a team in cross-country projects and virtual team structures. Colleagues from various countries work closely together in a network, designing the future via digital platforms, doing all they can to enable Miele to grow further. Miele: At home in the world.
At home in the Miele world
Miele is a German family-owned company, manufacturing premium domestic and professional appliances world-wide. Based in 47 international locations with over 16,700 employees, Miele is a company that is respected and trusted in the industry.
In 1899, Carl Miele and Reinhard Zinkann started their business with the production of cream separators and butter churns. 1901 was followed by washing machines, bicycles, mopeds and even automobiles. Miele’s focus gradually evolved to its present core competence, namely the production of high quality domestic and professional appliances.
“Immer besser” / “Forever better”: These two words are what characterise Miele as both a promise to the customer as well as an incentive for employees. In practice, this means that Miele has the aspiration to improve their products and services continuously and to do everything possible to be better than the competitors in all aspects including innovation.
Miele commenced operation in Australia in 1980 and in New Zealand in 2008. As a subsidiary, Miele Australia and New Zealand have over 500 employees and continue to strive for growth and success in the market.
