Russell Hobbs toaster

Russell Hobbs is a British manufacturer of household appliances. Formed in 1952 by William Russell and Peter Hobbs, it became a primary kettle maker in the United Kingdom market. The brand has been a leader in the small kitchen appliance market for decades.

Starting in 2010, the brand was acquired by Spectrum Brands, an American consumer products company. While the brand carries a strong British heritage and design influence from the UK, the actual manufacturing of most Russell Hobbs electrical products is now primarily concentrated in China and other Asian manufacturing hubs to optimize global distribution.
