BODUM® ws founded in 1944 by Peter Bodum. Lunching
new business during the wr wsn’t esy, nd jobs were scrce,
but my fther sensed it ws time to venture out on his own.
He ws incredibly fortunte to be grnted n import license,
nd by the lte 1940s he hd chieved gret success. As he
looked to grow the business, he found new interest in coee
mkers. The compny’s first vcuum coee mker, MOCCA,
ws introduced in the erly fifties, but it wsn’t until 1958 with
the production of the SANTOS Vcuum Coee mker tht
BODUM® becme household nme for qulity coee products,
nd coee hs been the mjor product group for BODUM®
ever since.
In the 1970s we introduced the now iconic French press,
which continues to be BODUM®’s most populr item. Tody, the
mjority of BODUM® coee mkers re produced t our fctory
in Portugl, where producing the highest qulity products s
well s environmentl responsibility nd sfe working conditions
re of the utmost importnce.
In the yers to come we re focused on expnding BODUM®’s
fctory in Portugl nd moving more nd more BODUM® products
there, this move will mke the entire process from design to
mnufcturing fmily opertion. Another importnt prt
of the BODUM® line is our collection of electric products tht hve
been introduced over the pst few yers. Centered round coee,
from boiling wter to grinding bens to the perfect utomtic
brew produced by our BISTRO b.over, the collection encompsses
everything the modern kitchen might need.
But no mtter how much we grow, we will lwys reflect on our
core vlue tht form should follow function.
