Waring,
universally known for introducing the first blender to American
consumers in the 1930's, is one of today's leading manufacturers of
professional quality, small appliances for the home, foodservice,
hospitality and laboratory industries. The company was acquired on May 9, 1998 by Conair Corporation, which also owns Cuisinart. Based in
Stamford, Connecticut
, Waring manufactures kitchen appliances in two product segments: Waring Pro™,
a line of professional quality consumer products that includes
blenders, juice extractors, citrus juicers, food slicers, drink mixers,
a waffle maker, toaster and a deep fryer; and the Commercial Division, which services the foodservice and laboratory industries.
Fred
Waring died in 1984, but his vision for a top quality blender lived on
as Waring continued to manufacture an innovative line of top
performance blenders for the home and for commercial use. That same
year, Waring's acquisition of the Acme Juicer Manufacturing Company
gave the company a leading position in juicers for the health food
industry. Waring continued to diversify its product line with the
Waring Vortex Blenders and the Under Cabinet Blendor®/Can Opener. In
1985, the company created two new product divisions - Waring Pro™ and
the Commercial Division.
