OXO Products
What Makes OXO Products So Good? All OXO products are manufactured using the highest quality
materials, measured against the most stringent standards in the business. They've taken every step to ensure that
the best possible products are available to consumers in all markets. Ergonomic designs and ground-breaking innovations
are based on comprehensive research and extensive interviews. Add that all together and it's simple: OXO products feel
great, look great and perform with excellence.
Good Grips products feature soft, flexible handles made out of Santoprene, a processed rubber, to ensure
a comfortable grip. Embedded 'fins' on handle sides flex under pressure and conform to individual finger grips. The fins
also give users control even when the handle is wet or slippery. Their large handles are proportionately designed to fit
easily in the palm.
An urgent late night call from France gave birth to the idea for OXO. Sam Farber, the retired owner of
Copco, was vacationing with his wife, pursuing their passion for cooking. While preparing to entertain friends with a light
lunch, Sam noticed Betsey's mild arthritis was causing her pain while peeling the apples for a tart. Unable to get the image
out of his mind, that night Sam placed a call to New York to talk to his long-time friend Davin Stowell, the founder of a
product development firm, Smart Design. They talked in-depth about the gross inadequacies of simple everyday cooking tools.
Entrepreneurs by nature, the two friends realized there was a need for better cooking tools that would make even the simplest
task, like peeling a potato, easier for everyone.
