OXO (/ˈɒksoʊ/; pronounced ox-oh) is a manufacturer of kitchen utensils, office supplies, and housewares based in New York City.

History

OXO was founded by Sam Farber, an entrepreneur in the housewares industry. Noticing that his wife Betsey was having difficulty gripping ordinary kitchen tools due to a slight case of arthritis in her hands, he saw an opportunity to create more comfortable cooking tools that would benefit all users. After years of research, the first group of 15 OXO Good Grips kitchen tools was introduced to the U.S. market in 1990.

Products

Today, OXO offers over 850 products covering many areas of the home.[1]
