Franke Management AG is a Swiss manufacturer founded in 1911 and still family-owned across four generations. The company operates through three divisions - Home Solutions, Coffee Systems, and Foodservice Systems - producing kitchen sinks and faucets for domestic use, professional coffee machines for commercial environments, and equipment for foodservice kitchens. It has expanded into smart kitchen systems, applying connected-appliance technologies to its core product lines.
With over 8,000 employees and a presence across five continents through more than 60 companies worldwide, Franke operates at considerable scale while retaining its structure as a privately held, family-run business. Its Swiss origins are reflected in an emphasis on precision engineering and product quality across all three divisions.
The company's work spans several technical domains:
- Product design and manufacturing for household and commercial kitchen environments
- Professional coffee machine engineering for retail and commercial use
- Commercial kitchen equipment for foodservice operations
- Development of connected and smart kitchen systems
Franke describes its internal culture as one oriented around curiosity, collaboration, and openness to new ways of working. The company invests in its workforce and frames technological and organisational change as a source of opportunity rather than disruption.
