OXO Kitchen Essentials

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.

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.

When it came to naming the company, Sam chose the name "OXO" because whether it's horizontal, vertical, upside down or backwards, it always reads "OXO." There are a lot of interpretations of how to pronunce the company name, the most common being "hugs & kisses" or "Oh-X-Oh." The official pronunciation is "Ox-Oh."
