LANDMANN: Pioneering BBQ Innovation Since 1966
As the oldest BBQ manufacturer in Germany since 1966 and a trusted brand in the UK since 1984, LANDMANN boasts a rich heritage of innovation and quality craftsmanship.

From its humble beginnings with charcoal, LANDMANN has evolved to offer a comprehensive range of BBQ solutions, including Gas BBQs, Electric BBQs, Portable BBQs, Smokers, Outdoor Heating, and Accessories. With a focus on innovation, LANDMANN introduces groundbreaking products such as the Big LANDMANN Kamado, the first BBQ with a built-in Air Fryer, the Fryton Gas BBQ with 3.5L Air Fryer, and the Caliano Gas BBQ with Pizza Oven, catering to every taste and preference.
Throughout its history, LANDMANN has achieved numerous milestones, including the creation of the Grillchef brand in 1971, the development of the first cast-iron BBQ and hotplate function in 1975, and the founding of the company in the USA in 1978. With a commitment to growth and expansion, LANDMANN has established a global presence, with subsidiaries in countries such as the UK, Scandinavia, France, Australia, South Africa, and more.
In 2021, LANDMANN joined the DS group of companies, marking a new chapter in its storied history.
