Italian heart
Bertazzoni La Germania cookers are
created in Italy. Here we understand food
and we understand style. We are also
renowned for engineering and design.
These things are brought together for
you in cooking machines that meet all
your needs and tastes in the kitchen.
Bertazzoni is the independent family firm which first started
making superior wood burning cooking stoves at the end of
the 19th century.
We pioneered the introduction of gas cookers in the 1950s.
Today our name is becoming well known across the world for
cookers, ovens and hobs designed and built by people with
a passion for cooking and food.
So wherever you find a Bertazzoni cooker you find the
classic Italian virtues: the flair of good design, the solidity of
good engineering, the love of good food.

Past makes perfect
The remarkable story of the Bertazzoni
family enterprise is closely linked to their
home town of Guastalla, north east of
Parma in the region Emilia Romagna.
When the railway connecting Parma with the north opened in
the mid-19th century, wood-burning cooking stoves started
to arrive in Guastalla, from Austria and Germany. The railways
remain the inspiration for the brand logo to this day.
Then as now, Emilia-Romagna was the heartland of Italian
food, and these wood-burning stoves set local weighing
machine maker Francesco Bertazzoni to thinking. So he and
his son Antonio decided to make their own cooking stoves
and the business was founded in 1882. The family built their (Fratelli Bertazzoni Guastalla) logo for their stoves. These
first factory near Guastalla railway station in 1909. decisions became the foundation for continuing success over
the coming years.
In 1923, company’s profile was further raised by launching
a new brand name, La Germania, and adopting the FBG In 1953, The Bertazzoni’s introduced their first gas table-top
units and production of the first gas stoves began in 1955,
further perfected in 1958 with the addition of an oven.
By the late 1980s demand for La Germania stoves was
booming. Large modern plants were built in the 1990s
as expansion continued. Today’s advanced manufacturing
techniques are adopted from the auto-industry and involve
minimal stocks, streamlined flows, and reduced lead times.
Bertazzoni now exports to more than 60 countries around the
world selling through a quality dealer network.
For all its modernisation and global marketing, Bertazzoni
never forgets that its roots are in the traditions of Italian
culture and style, and that it remains a specialist in the very
personal craft of cooking.

Induction hobs
Futura induction hobs have output levels of 9300 watts for
fast, efficient boiling and cookinwg. The variable low-to-high
power is controlled electronically.
With induction there is no waste of stored or residual heat,
and practically all the energy is used to heat the pan.
Also, there is no waiting for elements to heat up; full power
is available immediately.
With their touch-controls, the cooking zones are arranged to
make it easy to prepare a wide range of different dishes very
quickly with minimal energy output.
Special functions include a booster and a pot detection
system. Residual heat indicators warn if the hob is hot, even
when a zone is switched off.
Ventilation
Three styles of hood – Americana, Futura and Epoca –
have been designed to match in with any Bertazzoni
La Germania cooker.
Hoods may be installed onto a cabinet or directly to the wall,
either for recirculation or ducted extraction depending on the
type of installation. Duct covers are height-adjustable.
Epoca canopy hoods are available with or without rails and
with panels in a choice of three different colours.
Futura hoods have matching finish
and knobs.

Green machines
At Bertazzoni we understand the
relationship between our activities and
the environment. We are committed to
sustainability, safety and efficiency in all
our activities and operations.
We make sure that our products are built as efficiently as
possible using materials that are recyclable and not harmful
to the environment.
And we make sure that operating a Bertazzoni also means
using energy as efficiently as possible.
Safe, recyclable materials
Of all the materials we use for making our products, including
the packaging, 99% is recyclable.
Bertazzoni is completely ‘RoHS compliant’ (Restriction of
Hazardous Substances). That means our selected suppliers
and materials are safe.
Energy efficiency
The design of Bertazzoni burners gives very clean combustion
with low carbon monoxide emission. This means pots are
placed closer to the flame, giving shorter heat-up and boiling
times and reduced gas consumption.
All gas and electric ovens have true convection cooking
modes. This means cooking temperatures are reduced, saving
on gas and electricity.
Respect for the environment
Advanced production techniques at the Bertazzoni’s factory
in Italy increase energy efficiency and reduce pollution. They
also ensure materials are reused and recycled.
