Since the founding days Mieles guiding motto has always been "forever better". To this day Miele believe the philosophy incorporates a great sense of responsibility - responsibility towards dealers and consumers, members of staff and the way they interact, the environment, suppliers, the communities where manufacturing plants are located and, not least, towards the public.

Miele products are always of the highest quality and Miele to this day are pioneers for domestic appliances. Below are just a few important Miele developments:

1900 - Miele produce the first wooden-tub washing machine
1929 - Miele produce Europes first electrically driven domestic dishwasher
1978 - Miele produce the worlds first computer-controlled washing machines, tumble dryers and dishwashers with sensor-touch controls
1986 - Miele launch the cutlery tray for dishwashers
1996 - Miele produce the worlds first built in coffee machine

Miele manufactures in nine factories in Germany and one in Austria. The high quality standards which Miele has set itself are the main reason for the high degree of vertical integration apparent in the company and the extent to which core components are produced in-house. Miele even develope and produce the electronic controls for dishwashers, tumble dryers and washing machines at their own electronics production plant rather than outsourcing as many other manufacturers do.
