Kuppersbusch Appliances

Kuppersbusch is marketed as upmarket specialist kitchen appliances and, in large part, they were.

Like many specialist appliance producers however the company was bought by the Teka company ultimately in 1999 after having previously been partly owned by AEG. Involvement with AEG ceased in the early eighties as AEG slowly collapsed with financial problems and was ultimately bought by the Electrolux Group.

In 2011 rumours came to the surfeace that Teka, Kuppersbusch's parent company, was to pull out of the US market due to a general downturn with talk of the brand being pulled from other territories as well.

Market Position

Kuppersbusch has remained an upmarket brand for many years both in it's domestic appliance sire and it's professional kitchen products and pricing follows this at the top end of the market.

The company has, in the past, used "sourced" products such as Electrolux produced laundry products but largely teh cooking products appear to be of their own design and build.

Spares & Servicing

Many spares are easy enough to aquire however DIY repairs are not recommended as spares can be very expensive and technical skills are required to replace them in a good many cases.

Teka Kuppersbusch are not renowned for their friendliness towards engineers and technical information can be difficult to obtain if even possible.
