Where are Schaub Lorenz washing machines made?
If you ask a random passer-by whether he knows about the existence of the washing machine manufacturer Schaub Lorenz, he will probably answer in the negative, or will assume that it is some kind of newly-minted German brand. He will be partly right, but not everything is so simple. Should you trust this brand, or does it not deserve it? Let's try to find the answer to this question.
Where are these machines made?
In the modern world, where cultural and linguistic boundaries are blurring at the speed of light, it is not surprising to come across some small Chinese brand with a wonderful European name, trying to imitate German or Italian products. In the case of Schaub Lorenz, this idea is wrong.
The company was really “born” in Germany at the end of the 19th century. If you remember the lessons of history and realize that the brand stayed afloat for about 150 years, bypassing two world wars and many economic crises, you will involuntarily stop doubting the quality of their products.
Why then do Russians know practically nothing about Schaub Lorenz? The thing is that the company entered the Russian market only in 2016 and did not manage to gain a huge audience of buyers during this time. There is reason to believe that over time the situation will change, and the brand will become more recognizable throughout our country. Moreover, the company is not going to give up its position: its turnover amounts to millions of euros.
You may be surprised to see the inscription “Country of Manufacturer – Turkey” on your washing machine. This is due to the fact that large corporations have factories not only in their own country, but also abroad in order to optimize distribution channels.
Expert opinion about these machines
Experts say that there may be a difference in quality between washing machines produced at home, in Germany, and Turkish-assembled washing machines. After all, not only an established scheme plays a role here, but also the professionalism and responsibility of workers, the quality of equipment, etc. Therefore, when purchasing, it makes sense to pay attention to where the model was assembled.
If at first, when Schaub washing machines first appeared on our market, people bought them mainly on a tip from sales consultants, now you can find a sufficient number of reviews on the Internet for any model of this company. As for the choice of the model itself, you can find detailed characteristics of each of them on the official website of the brand and on Russian online trading platforms. Let's look at a few.
