Wertheim is a brand of domestic vacuum cleaners and floor care products.
The Wertheim brand name is sold in Australia and New Zealand exclusively through Godfreys.
History of Wertheim in Australia[]
The Wertheim brand was established in Australia in the early 1900s when German sewing machine manufacturer Hugo Wertheim moved to Melbourne with his partner. The brand achieved considerable success selling sewing machines, pianos and other electrical goods constructed of mainly Australian materials.[1]
The Australian Wertheim factory was closed in 1935 and was later turned into a Heinz factory and later re-purposed as a television studio for GTV Channel 9.[2] Shortly after, the brand was acquired by Australian retail company Godfreys.
