History
Formation
It was founded as a small family company in Bretten, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, on 12 June 1877 by Carl Andreas Neff.[1] It was first known as Carl Neff Herd und Ofenfabrik (stove and oven factory). In 1914 the company first made a gas oven. In 1950, they introduced their first oven with a thermostat. By 1955, they were making appliances in different colours, to suit a bespoke fitted kitchen. The company had the slogan im Haus - der Zeit voraus (in the house - ahead of time).
