says Achim Bölstler, head of the WMF Design Studio.

Cromargan steel is WMF's proprietary technology and a high-quality 18/10 stainless steel that has distinguished the brand's products for over 100 years. This material is key to the durability and reliability of WMF cookware, cutlery, and kitchen accessories.

The properties of Cromargan steel include exceptional resistance to scratches, deformation, and corrosion. Safety for allergy sufferers is guaranteed – the material does not alter the taste of food, contains no lead or cadmium, and does not release harmful substances even at high temperatures. It's good to know that Cromargan steel is fully compatible with all types of cooktops, including induction.

Ease of cleaning is another advantage – products can be safely washed in the dishwasher without losing their shine. Water and standard cleaning agents are sufficient for daily care. The durability of Cromargan steel cookware means it can be used for decades – many products come with a 30-year warranty.

The elegant mirror finish retains its appearance for years, neither dulling nor fading. Compared to enameled cast iron or aluminum, Cromargan steel offers better hygiene, lighter weight, and versatile use – from cooking to cold storage.

For years, the brand has been garnering prestigious industrial design awards, solidifying its position as a leader in the premium segment of kitchen and dining equipment. It is appreciated not only for its aesthetics but also for its innovation, ergonomics, and quality craftsmanship. Its designs are regularly recognized in international competitions, where they are judged on functionality, durability, and a modern approach to form.

Among the most significant awards received are e.g.:

• Red Dot Design Award

• iF Design Award

• German Design Award

• Good Design Award (Chicago Athenaeum)

• Plus X Award

These accolades confirm that WMF products combine precise German engineering with timeless, refined design.
