Vorwerk Gifts Two‑Millionth French‑Made Thermomix to Macron

The factory visit highlights France's fast approvals, skilled workforce and low‑emission energy as key factors behind Vorwerk's expansion.

Overview

  • On Friday, May 29, 2026 Vorwerk presented the two‑millionth TM7 assembled in its French plants to President Emmanuel Macron during a visit to the Donnemain‑Saint‑Mamès factory.
  • Vorwerk assembled the TM7 at two French sites — a modernized plant in Cloyes‑sur‑le‑Loir and a new plant in Donnemain‑Saint‑Mamès — using some components sourced from its Wuppertal motor plant.
  • The company said fast permitting, strong public support, reliable infrastructure, access to skilled labor and affordable low‑emission energy, not low wages, drove the decision to localize production in France.
  • Vorwerk announced an additional roughly €30 million investment to build a 31,000 m² logistics center in La Chapelle‑du‑Noyer to support rising TM7 sales.
  • The TM7 launch in February 2025 has been Vorwerk's strongest product debut and the Thermomix family already accounts for about 60% of group revenues, underscoring the commercial stakes behind the French expansion.
