Kärcher is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. Founded in January 1935 by Alfred Kärcher as a tinkerer's workshop for heating technology in Stuttgart, the family business has become a world-famous brand for cleaning technology over the decades.

"Kärcher is characterised by a great passion for technical solutions that make a difference and has thus become synonymous with quality, innovation and sustainability," said chief executive officer and chairman of the board of management Hartmut Jenner.

"Our steady growth and numerous awards, such as the recent German Sustainability Award, are confirmation of our path. This success would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of generations of Kärcher employees."

To celebrate the 90th anniversary, the company's teams around the world are carrying out 90 free cleaning projects in public places such as squares, parks,beaches, riverbanks and historic buildings during the anniversary year. There are also limited promotional models for customers across all appliance categories with a special design and additional features.
