Salvis builds appliances for kitchens where deliveries are made every day. From the first electric stove in 1920 to the Blackline — the same philosophy, a new design language.
The ChronicleNot a timeline for the sake of completeness — but the moments that explain why the devices look the way they do today.
In 1920, Switzerland predominantly cooked with wood and gas. Salvis nevertheless installed an electric stove—not as a study, but as an appliance that would last. This decision shaped the next hundred years.
Over the decades, the focus shifted: It wasn't about the newest model, but rather what still works after ten years of continuous operation. Robust construction, intuitive operation, and replaceable parts were key.
The toughest test came with catering and institutional food service: three hundred meals every lunchtime, no questions asked. Equipment that can withstand that kind of pressure isn't created on a drawing board alone.
Planned, built, assembled, and maintained – all from a single source and with short communication channels. What has changed are the tools. What has remained is the high standard for what leaves the factory.
For us, an appliance isn't just a delivery, it's a promise for years to come. That's why we consider planning, installation, and service together — and build in such a way that a kitchen will still be working perfectly in ten years.

Planning, delivery, assembly and maintenance from a single source — one contact person.
Short response times throughout Switzerland. A fully equipped kitchen costs money.
Over a hundred years of feedback from real kitchens, built into every appliance.
Repairable instead of replaceable, efficient in consumption, durable in substance.
A design language that won't look like it did in fifteen years, given the year it was introduced.
Dark surfaces, clean lines, no decoration: The Blackline reduces the appliance to what matters in the kitchen. A hundred years of experience, translated into a design language that doesn't impose itself.
