ZWILLING J.A. Henckels is one of the world's oldest and most prestigious brands, founded in 1731 in Solingen, Germany, a city renowned for its blacksmithing. The brand is synonymous with high-quality kitchen knives, featuring its iconic 'Twin' logo.

Today, the brand maintains a global manufacturing presence. Its premium forged knives are predominantly manufactured in Germany, while specific Japanese-style collections are produced in Seki, Japan. Some entry-level or specialty lines are produced in Spain or China. The company has evolved into a modern culinary powerhouse, expanding its portfolio to include cookware, glassware, and small kitchen appliances.

ZWILLING remains under the ultimate ownership of the Werhahn Group, a diversified German family-owned conglomerate. This ownership has allowed the brand to maintain its traditional craftsmanship while integrating modern technology and global distribution networks.
