Born in Germany, Rowenta traces its origins to the entrepreneurial spirit of Robert Weintraud, who founded Weintraud GmbH in Offenbach in 1884. Renamed Rowenta in 1909, the company initially produced a range of metal products, winter tires, and diverse items including writing accessories, toiletries, table lamps, and piano lamps. Celebrating 140 years in 2024, Rowenta is now a symbol of German craftsmanship and innovation, dedicated to enhancing everyday life with cutting-edge domestic appliances.
