A short history

For those who enjoy learning about the humble beginnings of a great company, here is some info …

Cuisinart owes its existence to the visionary mind of Carl Sontheimer, a man with a deep appreciation for French cuisine and a desire to bring the art of cooking to American households. In the early 1970s, inspired by his experiences in France and the culinary traditions of Europe, Sontheimer was driven to revolutionize the American kitchen. His idea was to introduce a kitchen appliance that would simplify and elevate the preparation of gourmet meals.

In 1973, Carl Sontheimer introduced the world to the Cuisinart Food Processor, a groundbreaking kitchen gadget that would forever alter the culinary landscape. Inspired by the French “robot coupe,” the food processor was designed to make time-consuming tasks such as chopping, slicing, and dicing, more efficient and accessible to home cooks. It was a revelation, a kitchen companion that turned ordinary individuals into culinary artists. Cuisinart’s food processor not only simplified and streamlined cooking but also ignited a passion for exploration and creativity in the kitchen.

Today, Cuisinart continues its commitment to producing innovative, functional, and top-quality products. They have won awards that include the Good Design Awards, the Gold Hermes Award, and the Gold Summit International Award.
