"Immer besser" (Forever better) – the motto chosen by 
our forefathers shortly after the company was founded. To 
be successful, it is important to stand apart from the 
competition and there are really only two ways to do this. 
Either to be better or cheaper. To be both at the same time 
is really not possible. You have opted for being better. This 
is the motto the Miele company has remained true to for 
more than a century now.
"Immer besser" – for us, this means first of all offering our 
customers excellent quality and outstanding service. With 
regard to washing machines, tumble dryers and 
dishwashers, for example, first-class cleaning performance 
must go hand in hand with the most gentle treatment of 
textiles, glassware or porcelain. Food cooked in a 
conventional oven or steam oven should be an absolute 
pleasure. All Miele appliances are characterised by 
excellent user convenience, economical operation and 
elegant design. Thanks to feedback from Miele customers, 
who have let us know the improvements they would like to 
see in various areas, we have achieved our objective of 
offering products of the highest quality. In terms of 
domestic appliances, quality also stands for durability and 
dependability. This is why Miele is the only manufacturer 
who builds and tests all appliances to last at least 20 years 
and ensures that the most important spares are available 
for more than 20 years. 
"Immer besser'' – in this day and age this also means 
assuming greater social responsibility. Sustainability is a 
social objective which Miele is committed to. This includes 
primarily lowering electricity, water and detergent 
consumption but also resource-saving production methods. 
We feel the same responsibility towards the people who 
work for us. Miele was the first company in Germany to be 
certified according to SA 8000, international social 
standards for fair working conditions and employment 
rights. Our suppliers and dealers are met with a spirit of 
partnership and mutual esteem. Sustainability has therefore 
many facets, and it is our aim to deliver excellence here 
too.*
