All-Clad: Американский производитель посуды премиум-класса

American cookware company

All Clad Metalcrafters, LLC is an American cookware manufacturer headquartered in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. The company markets its cookware to department stores and specialty stores in the United States, Australia, Canada, Germany, and the UK, along with All Clad bonded ovenware, kitchen tools, and kitchen accessories.

The business was founded by metallurgist John Ulam, in 1967, as a manufacturer of bonded metals, including coinage for the U. S. Mint, avionics, and ballistics. Bloomingdale's picked up the brand two years later, for its upscale housewares department. In 1988, All Clad Metalcrafters was purchased by Pittsburgh Annealing Box Co. and in 2004, it was bought by the French conglomerate Groupe SEB. In 2014 All Clad partnered with Chef Thomas Keller to produce the All Clad TK that feature bonded aluminum and stainless with a copper core.

At the time of its founding, All Clad used a patented "roll bonding" process by which metals are sandwiched together and then formed into a cooking vessel. The company derived its name from this cladding process, which is applied not only on the bottom but extends all the way up the sides of each cooking vessel. The company has been issued several patents by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

The firm purchases some of its metals from United States based suppliers, including Pennsylvania Steel Company. All stainless steel used by the company is certified to meet ISO 9000 and ASTM A240 standards for type 304 stainless steel intended for use with food.
