The Otto Wilde history kicked off in 2015 after Otto, Alex, Julia, and Nils jointly formed the plan to bring new impulse to the grilling market. Innovation took form with the O.F.B. which was realized thanks to grill enthusiasts via Kickstarter. This used Otto Wilde as a starting point to perpetually reinvent themselves and set new standards for grilling fans regarding experience and taste. The delivery of the O.F.B. was not the only milestone at Otto Wilde. Earning several design awards showed how much Otto Wilde values grilling. They ventured in new terrains with the G32, an outdoor kitchen, which was launched as a Kickstarter project and came out phenomenally successful. Since April 2021, Otto Wilde was happy to announce that they joined Miele in future endeavors and additionally opened an own flagship store on Düsseldorf’s “Kö”. Currently 50 employees put their combined efforts in Otto Wilde’s vision which has not changed much from its early days. Setting high quality standards in grilling experience or taste and sharing them with an enthusiast community is still the top priority. Grilling is still a big passion at Otto Wilde according to the motto: Meat ain’t no Firlefanz.
