87 years of extraordinary experience goes into all we make

Our story began in 1925 when Heinrich Blanc, an innovative visionary, founded the Blanco company in Oberderdingen, Germany. It seemed a small step but it was a bold one, for over the years his company gained a reputation for high quality, brilliant design, reliability and performance.

In 1978, Blanco arrived downunder and revolutionized the marketplace with Australia’s first Stainless Steel kitchen appliances.

Since then our attention to detail, an eye for aesthetics and an innovative approach, have led to numerous design awards.

It’s this award-winning innovation, combined with our decades of experience, that guarantees Blanco will keep creating extraordinary moments in people’s lives for years to come.
