Hand crafted and still made in Britain

The story of the AGA cooker is one of award-winning innovation and a proud heritage stretching back to 1922.

The AGA cooker, is part of the AGA Rangemaster group, and is made in Britain at the company's Shropshire foundry in Coalbrookdale, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.

Today's AGA is made in exactly the same way as it always has been. Quite simply, molten iron is poured into moulds. It's this technique that gives the castings their characteristic surface – each one is unique – and sets the AGA apart from the ubiquitous mass-produced uniformity.

While most cookers are spray painted in minutes, the AGA cooker's multiple protective coats of gleaming vitreous enamel take three days to apply. It's this enamelling that helps ensure the working life of an AGA cooker is measured not in years but in decades.

Of course, the modern AGA also contains state-of-the-art technology and is subject to rigorous quality controls and adherence to the latest environmental standards.

Each part of an AGA cooker – and there are many – is meticulously inspected and colour checked before engineers carry out the final build in the new owner's home.

It is not unusual for three generations of a family to work side-by-side at the AGA foundry and the passion staff feel for the cooker is second to none. 

This is British manufacturing as it should be.
