We celebrate our birthday
We have been a partner for the catering, hotel, communal catering and healthcare sectors since 1946. We are there for our customers with a great deal of technology, expertise and personal commitment.
Our history
From the washing machine to high-tech dishwashing technology
Our history is more than just a series of dates. It is made up of people, ideas and the drive to make everyday life in professional kitchens a little easier. From the first step to today's high-tech solutions.
Discover more about us, the Gehrig Group - how it all began, our values and our milestones.
The beginnings
It all began in the 1940s with a vision: to make the kitchen more efficient and hygienic.
What started with a single dishwasher for restaurants quickly grew into a leading company for commercial dishwashers.
Through continuous innovation and a belief in precise, reliable technology, we have established ourselves as a partner for professional kitchens for over 80 years.
Development & Partnerships
Over the years, we have systematically expanded our range through new start-ups, strong partnerships and the expansion of our range for professional kitchens.
This was joined by cooperations with Hobart and the Hildebrand brand, among others. An important step was the addition of Eloma to the product range in 2004.
In2007, the Gehrig Group was founded to bundle our expertise and brands under one roof. Other partnerships were added later, including Moretti Forni and finally Unox in 2024.
The present
Today, we not only offer commercial dishwashers, but also complete solutions for catering operations: from appliances and maintenance to special cleaning agents that improve your kitchen processes. We support you with tailor-made services ranging from advice on use to ongoing support. Our technologies are designed for efficiency, quality and sustainability.
The future
We are not resting on our laurels after 80 years. On the contrary, the future belongs to digital transformation, sustainable solutions and even closer partnerships.
We are constantly working on new innovations to make your business more efficient. In the coming years, we will increasingly focus on smart, networked warewashing technology and tailored maintenance models that help you save resources and minimize downtime.
People behind Gehrig
Technology is important, but in the end it is people who create trust. Our team supports companies throughout Switzerland with expertise, passion and genuine closeness. To mark our anniversary, we will show you who is behind Gehrig: personal, authentic and from the heart of everyday working life.
