Germany makes greats products. I really enjoy using my Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher (egg opener, or more literally, "egg shell pre-determined breaking point causer"), very precise.
- r3bl 9y agoIn some parts of Europe, a product made in Germany is automatically a good product. In fact, when looking for household appliances, you'll notice local shops using "originated from Germany" to promote some brands over the other. Especially Telefunken products. Same thing applies to cars, where the public separates them into two categories: "German" and "shit".

Today Telefunken don't produce any products(they sell only their Brand-Licence to partners), if you buy for example a Telefunken-TV it is produced by Vestel(in Turkey). http://vestelinternational.com/en/corporate/vestel-group/ http://vestelinternational.com/en/corporate/vestel-group/ https://www.telefunken.com/company/ https://www.telefunken.com/company/ - Partner Alliance
