DeLonghi has come a long way from being a mere spare parts workshop in 1902 in Treviso, Italy, that supplied components for manufacturing of the heating systems.

The brand further expanded with innovations in freestanding cookers, built-in tops and ovens, radiators, air conditioning, central heating systems, ironing systems, floor care appliances and kitchen appliances.
