Working at Quooker

Quooker is on a mission to conquer the world! We are determined to make this mission a success. That determination has been in our DNA since 1970: when Henri Peteri invented the first boiling water tap. His idea had to and would be a success. And it was. So, you fit in well with us if you are a go-getter and have perseverance.

The tap that does it all has evolved into an indispensable tool in the kitchen. By our ambition to remain innovative and original , the tap now provides not only 100°C boiling water but also chilled and sparkling water.

We conceive, produce, and ship the tap from here, from the Netherlands. Everything under one roof. We like to be independent , love short lines, and chart our own course. Each of our colleagues contributes uniquely to the success. They do completely different things, but together they form a whole. Curious about their roles, motivations, and ambitions? .

The Quooker tap was invented to serve our daily lives, as well as the environment (). Easy for humans, kind to the planet. We know our responsibility and we take it seriously.
