About Amana UK
From Pioneer to Perfection...in 140 years
Over 140 years ago, a small group of German
pioneers came to America to carve out their future.
Settling in eastern Iowa, they formed the Amana
Colonies, seven small villages that eventually
established their place in American folklore by
creating high quality products built with a pride
and a commitment that was passed down through
the generations.
In 1934, Amana native George Foerstner was
challenged by a local businessman to make a reliable
beverage cooler. The rest, as they say, is history.
Amana Appliances was born, rapidly gained
recognition and was soon commissioned by the
American Government to produce durable walk-in
coolers.
By the 50’s the Amana DeepFreeze brand had
set the standard for domestic food freezers...a
benchmark which was to spread worldwide as global
expansion followed.
Now, over 70 years after George built his first
refrigerator, Amana is a byword for innovation,
performance and inspired design. And those same
early values of pride and commitment continue to
this day...qualities reflected in a product that defines
the word...perfection.
