Smeg (appliances)
Smeg is Italy's largest manufacture of domestic kitchen appliances.
Smeg was founded by Vittorio Bertazzoni in 1948 as Smalterie Metallurgiche Emiliane Guastalla (metal enamelling factory in the village of Guastalla, Reggio Emilia). The company is still in the hands of the Bertazzoni family, currently under the direct control of Roberto Bertazzoni. Its headquarters remain a short distance from Guastalla.
They are well known for their 1950's "retro" refrigerators that have curved corners and come in a variety of non-traditional colours, for example pastel blue, lime green and pink. More recently they have added induction hobs to their range of products.
