The Amica S.A. Group announces that it has
acquired the rights to use the Sauter brand on the French market, a move that
strengthens its presence in one of Western Europe’s key markets and expands its
brand portfolio by adding a well-recognised premium brand with a history that
goes back over 120 years.
The Sauter
brand was founded in 1902 in Alsace by Frédéric Sauter. It has built a strong
position on the French market over the decades and has become renowned for
quality, innovation and design, particularly in the cookware segment. As early
as the 1990s, the company was one of the pioneers of induction technology in
Europe, which has become increasingly popular in many European markets. Sauter
continues to maintain its innovative position and remains one of the leading
manufacturers of household appliances in France, particularly in the category
of kitchen cooking appliances.
Sauter
specialises in built-in appliances – ovens, hobs, cooker hoods and freestanding
cookers – offering carefully designed products that combine modern design with
intuitive operation and advanced features.
‘The acquisition of the rights to the Sauter
brand on the French market is an important step in our strategy to further
internationalise and strengthen Amica’s position in Western Europe. Sauter is a
brand with a unique heritage, deeply rooted in french culinary culture, through
which we aim to create value for customers by developing innovative products
tailored to their needs’, says Maja Rutkowska, Vice-President of the Management Board of Amica
S.A. responsible for the French market.
Sauter is a
brand especially valued by customers who look for reliable and durable premium
solutions thanks to its history and focus on quality and functionality.
Analysis of user feedback indicates that the products are highly rated in terms
of durability, ease of use, and aesthetics, matching both modern and
traditional interiors.
‘The inclusion of the Sauter brand in our
portfolio on the French market is a strategic decision that allows us to
respond even better to the needs of local consumers. We combine the strength
and experience of Amica with the reputation and heritage of one of France’s
most recognisable household appliance brands. We believe that this step will
ensure the continued, dynamic growth of our business in France. We are proud to
continue the tradition by maintaining production of the Sauter brand in
Europe’, emphasises
Robert Stobiński, President of the Management Board of Amica S.A.
The
acquisition of the rights to use the Sauter brand forms part of Amica S.A.’s
long-term strategy, based on growth through strong, locally rooted brands and
the consistent strengthening of its position in the cooking appliances segment,
including built-in kitchen appliances. This allows Amica to expand its presence
in the demanding French market by offering products that meet consumers’
growing expectations in terms of quality, innovation and energy efficiency.
