Timeless Premium: 180 Years of Fissler. How German engineering from Idar-Oberstein shapes our cooking.
Idar-Oberstein, February 2025 – 180 years is more than just a number – it's an expression of passion, innovation, and a firm commitment to shaping the future of cooking. Since 1845, Fissler has stood for high-quality cookware, crafted with precision, artistry, and the "Made in Germany" quality promise. What began as a small workshop in the Hunsrück region is today a brand recognized worldwide for its excellent workmanship and innovative strength. 180 years is a long time – a time in which Fissler, as a family-run company based in Idar-Oberstein, has continuously evolved, set new standards, and significantly influenced the way people cook. The company consistently focuses on the needs of cooks – whether they've just moved into their first apartment or are experienced home cooks who regularly entertain guests.
From the past to the future
Whether it was the revolutionary waffle-patterned grill pan, the pressure cooker of the 1950s, or the introduction of the Original Profi Collection® in the 1970s – Fissler has repeatedly transformed the kitchen. Today, with its PFAS/PTFE-free Ceratal® products, the company focuses on sustainability and continues to develop cookware that meets the highest standards. The focus remains on reliable quality and well-designed functionality for people who are passionate about cooking – regardless of their skill level.
“Our goal is not only to continue our legacy as a family-run company, but also to further develop Fissler as a renowned premium brand and to continually set new standards for modern cooking with sustainable innovations,” says Frank Böttcher, CEO of Fissler. Quality, functionality, and design – these values have always guided the company's actions. Added to this is a clear commitment to “Made in Germany”: from Idar-Oberstein to kitchens worldwide.
