Where are Schaub Lorenz washing machines manufactured?

Where are Schaub Lorenz washing machines manufactured? If you ask a random passerby if they know about washing machine manufacturer Schaub Lorenz, they'll likely answer negatively or assume it's some new German brand. They'll be partly right, but it's not that simple. Should this brand be trusted, or is it just not? We'll try to find the answer.

Where are these machines made?

In today's world, where cultural and linguistic boundaries are blurring at lightning speed, it's not surprising to encounter some small Chinese brand with a quaint European name trying to imitate German or Italian products. In the case of Schaub Lorenz, this notion is misguided.

The company was truly "born" in Germany back in the late 19th century. If you recall the lessons of history and realize that the brand has survived for nearly 150 years, surviving two world wars and numerous economic crises, you'll inevitably stop doubting the quality of their products. What is this brand?

So why do Russians know practically nothing about Schaub Lorenz? The answer is that the company only entered the Russian market in 2016 and hasn't yet managed to build a significant customer base. There's reason to believe that this will change over time, and the brand will become more recognizable across our country. Moreover, the company shows no signs of losing ground: its turnover is in the millions of euros.

You might be surprised to see "Country of Origin: Turkey" written on your washing machine. This is because large corporations have factories not only in their own countries but also abroad to optimize distribution channels.

Expert's opinion on these machines

Experts say there can be a difference in quality between machines manufactured in Germany and those assembled in Turkey. This is due not only to the established system, but also to the professionalism and responsibility of the workers, the quality of the equipment, and so on. Therefore, when purchasing, it makes sense to pay attention to where the model was assembled.

While people initially bought Schaub washing machines based on recommendations from sales consultants when they first appeared on our market, now you can find a fair number of reviews online for any model from this company. When it comes to choosing the right model, detailed specifications for each can be found on the brand's official website and on Russian online marketplaces. Let's take a look at a few.
