SEBO Canada is 100% an independently-owned Canadian family business. We import SEBO vacuums directly from the manufacturer in Germany. When you purchase a SEBO vacuum, particularly through our network of dealers across Canada, you support local Canadian small businesses as well as the German SEBO manufacturer, located in Velbert.
Where Are SEBO Products Made?
All SEBO upright and canister vacuums, as well as the other SEBO products sold on our website, are manufactured by SEBO in Velbert, Germany, with one exception:
Due to the limited popularity of central vacuum systems in Europe, SEBO Germany does not manufacture central vacuum systems, hoses, or related parts. To meet North American demand, some components of our SEBO Central Vacuum Kits, such as hoses and wands, are sourced from other Canadian businesses and manufacturers.
SEBO Around The World
About 80 years after the first vacuum cleaner patent was issued, two German engineers were persuaded to reinvent the vacuum cleaner. With skills both in theory and hands-on-work, these gentlemen founded Stein & Co. GmbH in Velbert, Germany and, in 1978, developed the SEBO 350. This vacuum cleaner was designed to pass the hardest test: to facilitate the work of cleaning professionals. Due to the patented technical innovations that allowed effective cleaning of all kinds of carpet and the ability to clean the lightest corners, this first model immediately impressed the demanding cleaning personnel of hotels, hospitals, and offices. With the addition of unique features such as an integrated hose, a clutch-protected brush roller, and a bypass motor, the first SEBO caused quite a sensation.
Today with over 3,000,000 upright vacuum cleaners sold, SEBO is the global leader in commercial upright vacuum cleaners and all SEBO machines are still designed and produced in Velbert. SEBO vacuums can be found in .
SEBO Canada is a division of Floor Care Equipment Ltd., which was founded in 1971 in Ontario as a supplier of vacuum parts.
