“ Whilst Smeg might be better known for it’ s beautiful, colorful, and retro designs, this only scratches the surface of what we offer as a brand. Our technologies, premium build quality and range depth ensures a solution for all domestic and professional environments. In the professional division, our newly adopted strapline,‘ The Beauty of Performance’, perfectly encompasses our brand identity, homing in on the beauty of design not just being about aesthetics but the importance being focused on the quality of performance being delivered by premium internal components.
