MANUFACTURER BIOGRAPHY:
BODUM
In 1944, Peter Bodum, the father of today's owner, Joergen Bodum, started BODUM in Copenhagen Denmark. Times were difficult at the end of World War II; there was hardly any trade, and people were out of work. Peter Bodum managed to wholesale a very small variety of houseware products by Danish manufacturers. The BODUM Group is, and always has been, a 100% family-owned business. Today it is owned by Pia and Joergen Bodum, daughter and son of founder Peter Bodum. The company operates in 17 different countries with over 600 employees worldwide. BODUM has its holding company in Switzerland, 18 sales companies around the world, one production company in Portugal, and the BODUM Design Group consisting of PI-Design in Switzerland and buying offices in both Hong Kong and Shanghai. |
