The Story of KitchenAid

Honored recently by the accession of its 1919 stand mixer into the Smithsonian Institution's collection, KitchenAid continues to manufacture enduring icons at the intersection of cooking and beauty. For years, the company's stalwart product was a home dishwasher, introduced in 1949. Since then, KitchenAid has distinguished itself as a manufacturer of cookware and smaller appliances, particularly toasters and a variety of mixers. KitchenAid is headquartered in Benton Harbor, Michigan, with plants throughout Ohio and the South.
