ASKO History
The story began in the small farming community of Jung, Sweden in the late 1950s. Rural life was hard. And while some only dream of an easier existence, others had the drive and imagination to turn it into a reality.
A young farmer called Karl-Erik Anderson watched his mother washing clothes by hand, day after day. It was hard work – cold, wet and heavy. To ease her burden, Karl-Erik decided to design and build a washer that not only reflected his love for his mother but also his respect for nature. The result was a machine like no other. Not only did it make clothes much cleaner while using less energy, it could also heat water and spin. It was designed with a stainless steel drum and stood steady on four cast-iron legs. The machine was revolutionary, and the results extraordinary. So extraordinary, that Karl-Erik was encouraged to share his invention with others, so that everyone could benefit. And he did by building a world-class engineering and manufacturing facility right there on the family farm.
This act of care and love marked the beginning of ASKO. More than 70 years later, we are still driven by the same values and same desire to design and build products that make life easier and better for everyone. Products that care for you, and the world around you.
