cast iron poured into molds
give the AGA its characteristic
finish and makes each AGA
subtly unique.

Britain’s Handcrafted AGA. History In
The Making For Over 80 Years.
Since the 1920s, the AGA has been a treasured possession in kitchens across Europe and
throughout the world. Each Cooker is unique in its own fashion, cast in an historic foundry
in Coalbrookdale, Shropshire that has been smelting iron since 1709.
Today each AGA continues to be handmade by gifted craftsmen, with every step of the
building and finishing process continuously inspected for quality and excellence. Upon
completion, your AGA will be shipped from the United Kingdom to North America,
professionally delivered to your home, and carefully assembled by a skilled AGA technician
right in your own kitchen.
The deceptively simple AGA
design and graceful styling
has remained popular for
more than eight decades.
The elegant AGA styling remains
largely unchanged since the first
models were advertised in Britain
in the 1930s.
Main castings for the AGA
are made in Coalbrookdale,
Shropshire, the British foundry
where in 1709 Abraham Darby
first showed the world that iron
could be smelted using coke.
Pure Genius
Dr. Gustaf Dalen, a Nobel Prize winning Swedish physicist, lost his sight in an explosion in
1922. During his recovery at home, he became aware of how difficult it was for his wife to
prepare the daily meals. It could be simpler. He designed a stove that would be easy to use,
and consistent in its performance. Employing the tried and true concept of heat storage,
he combined a small and efficient heat source, two large hotplates and two generous ovens
into one robust and compact unit. Thus, the AGA was born.
