Italy
Italy is a country synonymous with passion, tradition and above all - food. From the rolling vineyards of Tuscany to the bustling markets of Naples, Italy's love affair with cuisine is woven into every aspect of daily life. And at the heart of this culinary culture lies a kitchen essential that is as stylish as it is practical: the range cooker.
Think about the classic of Italian cuisine - lasagne, fresh focaccia, pizza. Each dish demands its own cooking method, timing and temperature. A high quality range cooker allows these elements to be juggled with ease. Want to cook a pizza whilst baking a tiramisu and boiling water for tagliatelle? No problem.

Family, food and engineering have always been the three pillars of Bertazzoni's design and development of products, since 1882.
Founded by Francesco Bertazzoni in Guastalla, a town in the Emilia Romagna region of Italy, this truly special brand has continued to evolve their technology and engineering to create a wide range of range cookers and other kitchen appliances.
A particular stand out element of their manufacturing process is the enamelling of the cookers. Northern Italy's sports car manufacturers' have perfected ways to apply colour to metal that is both aesthetically stunning and resilient. Partnering with them, Bertazzoni have applied this unique finish, and the colours, to their appliances, with highly skilled craftsmen applying multiple layers of colour by hand.

Fulgor, as it was originally known, was founded in 1949 in the industrious territory of the Alto-Milanese in Italy.
Previously known as Fulgor, in 2009 the Menenghetti family acquired the company and reinvented as Fulgor Milano. This enabled them to enter the export market with their own brand, which makes up a large portion of the company's total exports - particularly to the North American market.
The Sofia Professional range takes its name from the Italian actress and is known for its bold design, quality, performance and style. The collection features both gas and induction cooktops, with options like brass-bound burners, dual control and pyrolytic self-cleaning ovens. Coming in either black or stainless steel makes it an easy choice, with a subtle colour still creating a standout piece.

Fratelli Onofri was established in the 1950s by brothers Giovanni and Goffredo Onofri in Northern Italy. Initially, the company focused on producing high-quality gas freestanding cookers.

Separately, the Fratelli brand is now available under the name Officine Venete. Based in Campodarsego, Padua, these cooking ranges celebrate "Made in Italy" craftsmanship, representing a tribute to the Italian culinary tradition and cradle of prestigious recipes.

France
France is a country that lives and breathes food. From the buttery croissants of Parisian patisseries to the hearty stews of the southwest, French cuisine is both an art form and a way of life.
French range cookers are highly regarded for their attention to detail and culinary heritage. They are known for exuding a classic charm and elegance, featuring high-performance components and customisable configurations that are used in some of the world's best commercial kitchens.
Back in the 15th century, a foundry was established in the village of Lacanche, France, by the Duke of Burgundy. A few years after the French revolution, Jacques-Etienne Caumatin began to manufacture cast iron range cookers for the growing restaurant and hotel markets.
200 years on and the factory is still independent, and family owned. The majority of the components for a Lacanche range cooker are produced at the factory, from the oven cavities to the enamelled finishes. Some components that are manufactured by partners are designed by Lacanche and sourced as locally as possible, such as the brass burner caps, which are designed by Lacanche and then sent to be manufactured only two hours from the factory.
Lacanche offer range cookers from 70cm right up to a huge 220cm. The standard sizes are usually around 90cm-110cm, but there are plenty of others to choose from should you have the room.

For over 75 years, the iconic Rayburn by AGA has been the warm heart of many British homes. Each AGA Rayburn is steeped in history.
These range cookers are designed by engineers with years of experience and built by craftsmen on the same site in Telford, Shropshire, that Abraham Darby once discovered the casting process that started the Industrial Revolution.
Built from solid cast iron, each is made with keen attention to detail, from the skilled casting of the molten iron to the multiple coats of gloss, shining vitreous enamel. Building on their classic designs and proud heritage, Rayburn's today are made from 70% recycled materials which makes them a great choice along with sleek, forward-thinking technology.

China
China has long been the epicentre of global manufacturing. Over the past two decades, it has built an ecosystem that supports everything from electronics to heavy appliances. Many global brands have outsourced or shifted their production to China, with high-tech factories, an integrated supply chain and global logistic know-how.
Stoves and Belling, two iconic British Brands, share a long history of producing trusted kitchen appliances and have been renowned for being a UK manufacturer. However last year marked a new chapter for owners GDHA, as they made the move overseas for the production of new appliances.
The Glen Dimplex Home Appliance business has a history of almost 100 years and is known for its market-leading domestic appliances. Producing appliances under brands such as Belling, Stoves and Britannia, GDHA has designed and manufactured in the UK and worked with overseas suppliers to bring innovative products to the UK. In recent years, a growing number of appliance manufacturers have made the decision to move production of their goods abroad, driven by a combination of cost factors, supply chain issues and the global economic climate.
Stoves are known for creating innovative and desirable cooking appliances, whether you opt for one of the core models or an enhanced Deluxe version. Belling's current collection covers everything from the contemporary through to the traditionally styled at a family-friendly price, without compromising on durability or features.
