SWAN BRAND HERITAGE

Did you know...

In 1933 Swan were the first to develop an electric heating element that could be immersed in water. This led to the Swan kettle range that could boil up to six pints of water in just over nine minutes - pretty hot for the time! These days it takes about two minutes for a Swan kettle to boil.
