Research and creativity are two mainstays for SMEG, an Italian company with a global outlook that has revolutionised the world of household appliances by contributing a new, artistic, pop, and designer feel to the sector. The company is paying increasing attention to sustainable development with policies that seek to continuously improve production processes.

It takes great care to use materials such as steel, glass, aluminium, and brass, which are all easily recyclable. To improve the environmental footprint of its products, SMEG has expanded on the restrictions set by the RoHs and REACH European directives for managing chemicals.
