Company & Ownership

AB Electrolux owns AEG. Electrolux acquired AEG Hausgeräte in 1994 and obtained worldwide rights to the AEG brand and corporate name in 2004. AEG is therefore a German-origin brand inside a Swedish listed appliance group, not an independent German appliance company today.

Parent company: AB Electrolux (publ)

The brand can connect floor care to laundry and kitchen categories, but buyers must avoid converting brand heritage or group factory data into a blanket origin claim.
