Weber Grill

Weber-Stephen Products LLC is a legendary American brand best known for the invention of the charcoal kettle grill. The brand's journey began in 1952 when George Stephen, an employee at Weber Brothers Metal Works, cut a buoy in half to create a dome-shaped grill that could protect food from the elements and circulate heat more effectively. This innovation revolutionized outdoor cooking and established Weber as a household name in backyard BBQ culture.

While the company rose to fame as a family-owned business based in Illinois, it has transitioned into a globally recognized entity. Today, Weber maintains its manufacturing roots in the United States, specifically at its Huntley, Illinois facility, where many of its high-end lines are assembled. However, to meet global demand, several models and accessories are also manufactured in China and Taiwan. In early 2023, the brand was taken private by the investment firm BDT & MSD Partners, ensuring it remains under American financial ownership with a focus on long-term growth and premium smart-grilling technology.
