Company History

Step into the future of home appliances with Matura – where innovation meets excellence!

In the post-World War II era, the world was still reeling from the aftermath of destruction and upheaval. Among the chaos and challenges, Dr. Wilhelm Lepper, the visionary inventor in the quaint town of Bad Honef, Germany, emerged.
Amidst the struggles and scarcity of those times, Dr. Lepper, head of Lepper Works, became inspired to find a solution to one of the most laborious and time-consuming household tasks – laundry. Fueled by his passion for innovation and a desire to improve lives, he embarked on a journey to revolutionize the way people cleaned their clothes.
In his workshop, fueled by inspiration and determination, Dr. Lepper worked tirelessly to develop a groundbreaking concept: the drum washing machine. Unlike anything seen before, this machine utilized a flexible diaphragm or bag to squeeze and clean articles of clothing with unrivaled efficiency. The days of laboriously scrubbing clothes by hand were soon to be a distant memory.

The world was about to witness a transformational shift in laundry care.

Dr. Lepper’s invention held the promise of shorter washing times, cost-effectiveness, and a small space requirement – making it a practical solution for households of all sizes.

Matura, German pioneering roots of our journey.

Finally, the day arrived when the first-ever drum-washing machine was unveiled to the world. In the year 1956, a remarkable breakthrough changed the course of laundry care forever. Dr. Wilhelm Lepper’s visionary invention, the Type 111, marked the birth of the first household washing machine – Matura. Recognizing the immense potential of this automated drum-washing technology, we drew inspiration from Dr. Lepper’s ingenious creation and set out on a mission to become a leading home appliance brand.
Over the years, Dr. Lepper’s invention became a symbol of progress and convenience, not just in Germany but around the globe. As time went on, his innovation paved the way for even more sophisticated and advanced washing machines, shaping the course of modern living.
Embodying the spirit of innovation and progress, Matura was born – a name that pays homage to the pioneering roots of our journey. From the very beginning, our aim has been clear: to design and manufacture some of the finest washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, ovens, and small appliances in the country.
