Revolutionizing cookware for half a century

When the first fully bonded pan rolled off our Pennsylvania assembly line 50 years ago,
it forever changed how cookware was crafted.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

In Western Pennsylvania born & raised

All-Clad began and still operates in Canonsburg Pennsylvania, a small borough near our founder’s hometown because it offered benefits no other place could. As the birthplace of the American steel and aluminum industry, the region is unmatched when it comes to metal fabrication technology and its metalworkers are among the most skilled in the world. We’re proud to be from PA and we look forward to continue crafting the best fully bonded cookware in the world right here for generations to come.

OUR HISTORY

Changing the world of cookware since 1971

The man of metal

Our founder, John Ulam wasn’t a professional chef or a product engineer. He just happened to know metals better than anyone. A renowned metallurgist, John had more than 75 patents for metal crafting and his innovations transformed the metals used to manufacture car parts, build airplanes, and even mint coins.

Reinventing the pan

Being an avid home cook, John wondered what would happen if he applied his patented metal crafting methods to cookware. So in the spirit of invention, he took layers of stainless steel, bonded them with aluminum, and shaped them into pans.

All-Clad is born

This new bonded cookware cooked food more evenly, was easy to clean, didn’t alter flavors, and didn’t tarnish or warp. It was such a hit, John started our company, All-Clad Metalcrafters, in 1971. Shortly after, he opened a factory near his hometown in Western Pennsylvania.

“Don’t worry about bells and whistles,
worry about delivering maximum performance.”
