60 Years of Innovation

Jaga has focused on innovation and creativity ever since it was founded in 1962. Jaga breaks through traditional thinking and has surprised the market for decades with completely new technical and aesthetic concepts. It is no surprise, therefore, that Jaga has an impressive record of design awards for multiple iconic products.
