Top quality: V-ZUG, the Swiss craftsman among household appliances
V-ZUG craftsmanship has been producing authentic Swiss quality since 1913. The company has successfully established itself in the premium segment, where expectations regarding design and quality are the highest. It is possible for V-ZUG to meet these expectations because this goes right to the heart of the company. Today, the tools used in production are still made in-house, just like they were over a hundred years ago. Even though machinery has taken over or simplified some process steps, people still do the lion's share of the work: authentic Swiss craftsmanship indeed. Everything from the biggest machine down to the smallest part is checked across every stage in the process. The company's approach to production is away from mass-produced goods and towards premium products; V-ZUG accepts no compromises on quality.
