WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF PFAFF®
For over 150 years, PFAFF® has developed premium sewing machines distinguished by their sophisticated appearance, superior performance and exhibiting ultimate design freedom.
A close watch on industry needs and trends has become increasingly important as sewing has evolved from a necessity to a form of creative expression. And this evolution is something we take very seriously. It has inspired our product development to be driven by insight, not just demand. And as a result, our products embody the innovative technology and best-in-class craftsmanship required by today’s most passionate creators — required by those who wish to stand out in a crowd.
We believe the search for individuality will always be in style. Perfection starts here™.
The beginning
Since 1862, when Georg Michael Pfaff built his first sewing machine and founded the GM factory PFAFF®, the company's ambition has remained the same: to constantly renew and modernize sewing technology. Quite a few milestones have been passed along the way. Here are some of them.
Lighting the way
Ten years after the company was founded, a thousand sewing machines had been manufactured. After PFAFF® opened a new factory in Kaiserslautern, Germany in 1902, the production rate increased significantly.
Machines for the masses
We proudly released our one millionth PFAFF® sewing machine to the public.
New measures in form
In 1922 we launched our first Rotary Hook sewing machines.
Freedom creates possibility
We launched the famous PFAFF® 130—a high-performance Zig-Zag machine—to meet the ever-increasing demands on the market.
Five million strong
The five millionth PFAFF® sewing machine was created and celebrated.
Pioneering progress
1968 saw perhaps one of the biggest milestones in PFAFF® history; the launch of the PFAFF® 1222, featuring the Original IDT™ for integrated dual feed, as well as Electronic Needle Piercing Power.
Technology takes the stage
1984 we released our first computerized sewing machine with IDT™ and the ability to program in your own stitches.
Stitches for days
1988 saw the release of our first machine with 9 mm stitches and the creative™ Designer feature allowing the sewer to create and copy stitches.
Ingenuity worth celebrating
In 2011 we launched our most advanced top-of-the-line sewing machine to date – the PFAFF® creative sensation™ sewing and embroidery machine.
Helping sewers reach new heights
PFAFF® introduces a host of five new machines designed to help sewers reach new heights: the creative™ 3.0 sewing and embroidery machine, the performance™ 5.0 sewing machine, the quilt expression™ 4.2 sewing machine, the expression™ 3.2 sewing machine and the passport™ 2.0 sewing machine.
