| In 1950, an enterprising young Swedish farmer
named Karl-Erik Andersson set out to build his mother a different
kind of washer. A unique, energy- and water-efficient machine
that would reflect a farmer's love and respect for nature. One
with superior cleaning power and reliability that could heat
water, spin, and even boast durable, state-of-the-art, stainless
steel drums. A washing machine like no other. So the young farmer
built his amazing washer, surpassing even his meticulous mother's
high standards. Indeed, the results were so extraordinary, he
was convinced to share his creation with others. So he built
a world-class engineering and manufacturing facility right on
the family farm — where it stands to this day — and
a new company was born. The company we now call ASKO.
Today, ASKO is an international corporation with a full line
of high-performance washers, dryers and dishwashers. ASKO appliances
still do a better job of cleaning with a fraction of the water,
electricity and detergent of ordinary machines. Every component
is constructed of steel rather than plastic wherever possible.
And every ASKO product is still built with Scandinavian quality
and environmental sensitivity — just as Karl-Erik Andersson
intended. In short, ASKO appliances are some of the best-performing,
most ecology-friendly, and longest lasting on earth. Made especially
for those — like a certain Swedish mother — who
appreciate the difference.
