Brand name: Zanker
Founded: 1888
Country of origin: Germany
Mention the brand Zanker to anyone in central Europe and you will hear how it is instantly associated with German engineering and advanced product development. Internationally, the reputation applies to high quality washers and dryers.
Historically, the name has been in the marketplace for well over a hundred years and is renowned for critically important innovations such as adding a high-speed centrifuge to the wash drum (1955), a system that is still current today, as well as equipping washing machines with program disks (1963) to initiate switching device mechanisms – a first small step in the direction of future “computer technology”. Today, the Zanker product line covers the full range of kitchen appliances, and the name still resonates with authority.
Licensees looking for a brand that stands for German quality would do well to remember that “There is no better alternative than Zanker.”
