NOVATO, Calif. – In 2008 Kuhn Rikon, innovative Swiss cookware company, celebrates its 20th anniversary in the United States as the #1 Swiss brand of cookware and cook's tools. While Kuhn Rikon has proudly produced high-quality Swiss cookware for over 80 years, it's been since 1988, when Rudy Keller, President of Kuhn Rikon USA, moved from Switzerland to Northern California, that Kuhn Rikon has expanded to develop many more useful and elegant products with the American consumer in mind.

"Our business is growing faster now because of our unique niche in the marketplace. We continue to work with our Swiss design team to create a European look with unsurpassed quality. American lifestyles greatly influence our Swiss design tradition, opening up a new world of product development that orginates in a love of food, and culminates in a love of cooking," says Keller.

With Swiss designer Philipp Beyeler's creative approach to design, expect an explosion of Kuhn Rikon tools, focusing on superb functionality and eye-popping color for the passionate cook in everyone. We're excited about the future - come along with us to see what's ahead in the next 20 years of seriously fun cooking!
