Established as the Chicago Flexible Shaft Company in 1880 before changing its name in the 1940s, Sunbeam produced the first small electrical appliance made in Australia — the Sunbeam Mixmaster. It followed this with a series of country-wide firsts: the first electric shaver in 1952; the first steam iron in 1956 and the first pop-up toaster in 1960.

Sunbeam maintains the same commitment to innovative technology today. In recent years, Sunbeam was awarded the prestigious Red Dot award for its Cafe Series Contact Grill.

Sunbeam Australia offers a comprehensive range of electrical goods that includes kitchen appliances, personal care appliances and award-winning barbecues.
