Almost all casting takes place at Coalbrookdale, the Shropshire cradle of the Industrial Revolution, where, in 1709, Abraham Darby first melted iron using coke. The latest AGA is made in exactly the same way; by pouring molten iron into a mould to create cast iron.

It is cast iron that possesses the unique heat retention properties that are an intrinsic part of the way an AGA cooks. Today, however, every new AGA is both 70 percent made from recycled materials and 70 percent future recyclable.

We also continually strive towards greater environmental sustainability and energy efficiency. For instance, our new 13-amp electric AGA is, thanks to AIMS, the AGA Intelligent Management System, programmable for greater control and versatility.

We’re even working on solar and wind power and other alternative energies. While our factory might not be more than a few miles from Darby’s first foundry, we’ve come a long way in 300 years.
