The business focuses on the design, development, manufacturing and distribution of a range of high-quality products under the brand Siemens Gigaset.

Gigaset DECT phones are market leader in Germany , where a Gigaset can be found in every second household , and also in Europe and number two worldwide. Independent product tests and readers’ choice awards regularly confirm the quality and user friendliness of the Gigaset products. Many Gigasets receive design awards such as the “red dot Award“ or the “if-Designaward“ for stylish and timeless design.

Gigaset Communications is active in more than 69 countries and employs 1,800 people worldwide. The majority of products sold are developed and manufactured at the production site in Bocholt , Germany . Here the Gigaset products are produced under the highest quality and environmental standards. In 2007 the company’s environmental management system received the DIN EN ISO 14001 certification. In this context the company specified its environmental policy and changed the Gigaset portfolios for both cordless phones and broadband devices to incorporate ECO DECT and ECO Broadband – an important contribution to environmental and climate protection: These products are particularly energy-efficient and enable a variable reduction of transmission power.

In 2008 the Gigaset phones are celebrating their 15 th anniversary. Since the introduction of the first DECT telephone in 1993 , Gigaset consistently reaffirmed its leadership in innovation with cordless phones. For instance , the integrated answering machine , hands-free speaker phone systems , SMS in the landline , VoIP solutions for DECT phones and new standards like CAT-iq were first to be found in Gigaset products.
