About us
For over 100 years, Sunbeam has been simplifying the lives of
everyday Australians.
Here at Sunbeam, we make products for real people, and real,
Australian needs. Through cutting-edge innovation and intelligent
design, we aim to make it easier and simpler for you to do those
things you do every day: clean, cook, organise, or even
entertain.
Our history is one of innovation and creativity. It harks back
to 1910, when we imported the revolutionary Princess Electric Iron
from the U.S - and forever changed the way Australians took to
their ironing. Following the popularity of this first small
electrical appliance, Sunbeam began importing more and more - and
in 1948, launched the Sunbeam Mixmaster, the first small electrical
appliance to be manufactured in Australia. Costing more than a
month's wages, the Mixmaster sold more than 725,000 units in just
10 years. Read

Today, our commitment to simple, sophisticated and elegant
design has remained unchanged. Our products don't just look smart.
They are smart.
Over the years, our superior design has been awarded and
recognised, over and over again. Most recently, in 2008, we won the
prestigious, global Red Dot Award for our Café Series Contact
Grill. Acclaimed for its combination of design and aesthetics, the
Contact Grill beat over 3,000 entries from 51 different countries.
We have also received a wide range of design awards - including the
Australian International Design Award for our Innovo 2 Burner Gas
BBQ.
