HISTORY
In 1908, our founder did not plan to make eggersmann the epitome of high-quality unique kitchens. But even then, he worked towards sophisticated bespoke kitchen production with great persistence. The fact that, with so much East Westphalian down-to-earthness, chance had to help a little in order to achieve eggersmann's international success can also be read in our company report under Stories.
