OXO Kitchenware

OXO was founded in 1990 by Sam Farber, an entrepreneur in the housewares industry who noticed his wife struggling to grip a vegetable peeler due to arthritis. This led to the creation of the iconic 'Good Grips' line, characterized by ergonomic, non-slip rubber handles. The brand transformed kitchen tool design by applying universal design principles, making tools accessible and comfortable for everyone.

Today, OXO is a major player in the global kitchenware market. While the brand originated in the United States and maintains its design headquarters in New York City, manufacturing is primarily outsourced to various facilities in China to maintain global distribution scales. The brand has expanded beyond the kitchen into office supplies, baby products, and cleaning tools.

Since 2004, OXO has been a subsidiary of Helen of Troy Limited. As part of this large consumer products corporation, OXO continues to lead in innovation and ergonomic design, consistently winning awards for its user-centric approach to everyday household items.
