Quality and Style since 1777
Our Origin
The origin of the Flavel brand can be traced back to 1777, when John Flavel (1754-1834) acquired an iron foundry in Bilton near Rugby. John's son, William, revolutionised cooking with his invention of the Kitchener cooking range in 1829 to replace open fires and spits.
The Introduction of Gas Cookers
In 1833, Sidney Flavel continued his father's pioneering spirit, building the Eagel foundry, acclaimed in an 1861 Great Western illustrated guide as "the largest manufactory of its kind in the world". At the end of the 19th century, Flavel was again at the forefront of the second kitchen revolution with the introduction of a series of gas cookers.
Where We Are Today
In 2002, the Flavel brand was acquired by Beko Plc and today is synonymous with quality and innovation which is evident throughout the range. The quality of the design, materials and construction of Flavel products remain true to the expertise and attention to detail that built the brand in the beginning. Modern manufacturing techniques used at state-of-the-art production facilities meet the exacting standards of quality required by today's consumers.
