BGH is an Argentine electronics and technology company headquartered in Buenos Aires. It was founded in 1913 by Boris Garfunkel.
History BGH began as a furniture retailer in Buenos Aires in 1913 and gradually expanded into importing and then manufacturing electrical and electronic goods. By the 2000s it operated large-scale production in Tierra del Fuego, investing to expand capacity for televisions and other consumer electronics.
On 31 July 2007 a major fire destroyed BGH's Río Grande plant. The company rebuilt and reopened a new facility between 2009 and 2011.
In November 2021 BGH and Samsung announced a partnership to manufacture inverter air conditioners in Argentina. As of April 2025, Daniel Rosenfeld serves as BGH's chief executive officer.
Operations and products BGH manufactures televisions, microwaves, and residential HVAC systems, and also produces for third-party brands from its Río Grande plant. BGH has also marketed innovative microwave models, including a limited “music microwave” edition in 2011.
