AGA Shop has ceased sales of AGA and Rayburn by AGA cookers with Andi-Co appointed as the new distributor.

Andi-Co CEO Tim Luce told Appliance Retailer he was looking forward to distributing the brands which became effective from 1 April.

“We are delighted to welcome the iconic brands of AGA and Rayburn into our house of premium electrical appliance brands at Andi-Co and are looking forward to working alongside retailers to drive growth in the Australian market,” Luce said.

In a statement, AGA Shop managing director, Simone Blamey, said “being part of the AGA story in Australia has been an incredibly rich journey”.

“All good things must come to an end and after 30 years of dedicated service, on 28 March 2025, the AGA Shop will no longer be importing, distributing or retailing AGA and Rayburn products,” she said in a statement.

“AGA and Rayburn are products with soul and anyone that owns one will understand this sentiment. Getting to know those that have attended one of our cooking demonstrations has been a joy. I learn something new every time.

“Thank you to everyone who has supported us during our sale and for the many years beforehand. We are so grateful for the AGA community, it was lovely to end with a bang so to speak and we have appreciated all of the kind words being passed on by everyone.

“The good news is that we will continue to sell floor models and ex-display cookers at reduced prices, as well as AGA cookware, accessories & spares available while stock lasts.

Blamey has confirmed she will continue to operate the Melbourne-based store located at 330 Malvern Road in Prahran and will still sell Falcon cookers and rangehoods, Liebherr refrigeration, Qasair rangehoods as well as other cookware products.

AGA was originally a Swedish brand invented in 1922 and was developed to burn coal and anthracite. Since 1957 production has been located in the UK. In 2015, AGA Rangemaster Group was acquired by the American corporation Middleby.

“The AGA cooker has been bringing life to the kitchen for over a century and our cast-iron cookers are still hand built in Shropshire. We understand the importance of home, family, friends and good food and it’s why we’ve created a cooker for every stage of life,” said the company’s website.
