Who are we?

Miele is a world leader in the production of premium domestic and commercial appliances. At Miele, we take immense pride, not only in the quality of our appliances but all aspects of customer services.

Since being founded in 1899 Miele has followed its 'Immer Besser' brand promise. This means: we will do all that we can to be "forever better" than our competitors and "forever better" than we already are. For our customers, this means the peace of mind of knowing that choosing Miele is a good decision - and probably the decision of a lifetime. For Miele, meeting the expectations of its customers when it comes to products and services, and exceeding them, is of the utmost importance.

What will you do in your role?
