1966 - Where it all began
THE LANDMANN STORY
LANDMANN is the oldest barbecue manufacturer in Germany. The founders of today's traditional brand had a hot nose in 1966 and brought the first barbecue back home from Canada. And their vision of a successful business bore fruit.
Today, the trend continues and is developing more and more potential. From the beginnings with charcoal, LANDMANN now offers various smokers, high-temperature grills, smokers, the ceramic grill for long jobs and sustainable electric or pellet grills. And also in the popular category of gas barbecues, you can get from the classic gas barbecue trolley to equally impressive outdoor kitchens that can be modularly installed and individually designed. For everyone just what they like best.
Our roots
LANDMANN made history with the nostalgic "three-legged grill". A compact round barbecue on three legs that was ready for use at practically any time and went on the road with the Germans. At its peak, the cult grill sold 1.5 million units per year. This made us the first company to launch barbecues on the German market on a large scale.
What does LANDMANN stand for?
Every day is barbecue day: because there doesn't have to be a special occasion for barbecuing - it's always something special. Barbecuing brings people together, barbecuing is quality time, barbecuing is a shared outdoor experience. Everyone should take part in this: That is why LANDMANN, as a strong and reliable brand, stands for a range that offers exactly the right thing for every taste and every life situation. Quality at a fair price.
Our Mission
"WE WANT TO OFFER EVERY TYPE OF BARBECUER INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS IN HIGH QUALITY AT A FAIR PRICE!"
Our Vision
We work on new ideas every day and change our products in a forward-looking way. We want our appliances to be even easier to use and even more practical to clean. So that you have more time for those special moments with family and friends. We want to integrate barbecuing more into everyday life and show how easy it is. A real alternative to the kitchen. Because grilling can be so easy.
Experience special moments every day with LANDMANN.
