<div>KitchenAid&nbsp;is an American home appliance brand owned by&nbsp;Whirlpool Corporation. The company was started in 1919 by The&nbsp;Hobart Corporation&nbsp;to produce stand mixers; the &quot;H-5&quot; was the first model introduced. The company faced stiff competition as rivals moved into this emerging market, and introduced its trademarked silhouette in the 1930s with the model &quot;K&quot;, the work of designer&nbsp;Egmont Arens. The brand&#39;s stand mixers have changed little in design since, and attachments from the model &quot;K&quot; onwards are compatible with the modern machines. Dishwashers were the second product line to be introduced, in 1949. A late 1980s promotional campaign on the back of an expansion by retailer&nbsp;Williams-Sonoma&nbsp;saw brand awareness double in three years.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>The idea of a&nbsp;stand mixer&nbsp;was formulated by Herbert Johnston, an engineer working at the&nbsp;Hobart Corporation. He had been inspired after seeing a baker mix dough, and thought that there must be a better way of doing the task. In 1914, development began, and soon the model &quot;H&quot; mixer was launched for industrial work. The&nbsp;U.S. Navy&nbsp;ordered mixers for two new&nbsp;Tennessee-class battleships, California&nbsp;&nbsp; and&nbsp;Tennessee, as well as the U.S. Navy&#39;s first&nbsp;dreadnought&nbsp;battleship,&nbsp;South Carolina. In 1917, Hobart stand mixers became standard equipment on all U.S. Navy ships, prompting development to begin on the first home models.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>The first machine to carry the KitchenAid name was the ten-quart C-10 model, introduced in 1918 and built at Hobart&#39;s&nbsp;Troy Metal Products&nbsp;subsidiary in Springfield, Ohio. Prototype models were given to the wives of factory executives, and the product was named when one stated &quot;I don&#39;t care what you call it, but I know it&#39;s the best kitchen aid I&#39;ve ever had!&quot; They were initially marketed to the farmhouse kitchen and were available in hardware stores. But owing to the difficulty in convincing retailers to take up the product, the company recruited a mostly female sales force, which sold the mixers&nbsp;door-to-door. The C-10 machine was also marketed heavily toward soda fountains and small commercial kitchens, and was also sold under the&nbsp;FountainAid&nbsp;and&nbsp;BakersAid&nbsp;model names.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>In 1922, KitchenAid introduced the H-5 mixer as its new home-use offering. The H-5 mixer was smaller and lighter than the C-10, and had a more manageable five-quart bowl. The model &quot;G&quot; mixer, about half the weight of the &quot;H-5&quot; was released in August 1928. In the 1920s, several other companies introduced similar mixers, and the&nbsp;Sunbeam Mixmaster&nbsp;became the most popular among consumers until the 1950s.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>
KitchenAid mixers remained popular, and in the late 1930s, the factory would completely sell out its products each Christmas. The factory was closed for the duration of World War II. After the war, production started up again in 1946 when the factory moved to&nbsp;Greenville, Ohio, to expand capacity. 
 
In 1985, the company purchased the&nbsp;Chambers Company&nbsp;to incorporate its range of cookers into the KitchenAid brand. After being cleared by a Federal appeals court in January 1986,&nbsp;Whirlpool Corporation&nbsp;was cleared to purchase KitchenAid after initial complaints regarding competition from dishwasher manufacturers&nbsp;White Consolidated Industries&nbsp;and&nbsp;Magic Chef&nbsp;were dismissed. Refrigerators&nbsp;were added to the product line later in 1986. The company used the popularity of&nbsp;celebrity chefs&nbsp;during the late 1980s to seize the chance to expand its customer range. In 1988, retailer&nbsp;Williams-Sonoma&nbsp;was opening new stores across the United States and released a&nbsp;cobalt blue&nbsp;stand mixer for the company. Although the retailer had been carrying KitchenAid products since 1959, the new stores introduced the mixers to a wider range of home cooks. This combined with a change in marketing strategy for KitchenAid, which resulted in a doubling of brand awareness over the course of the following three years.

KitchenAid began manufacturing blenders and other small appliances in the mid-1990s. The brand was further promoted by sponsoring the&nbsp;PBS&nbsp;show&nbsp;Home Cooking, and by introducing the mixers to television chefs such as&nbsp;Julia Child&nbsp;and&nbsp;Martha Stewart. Following the success with William-Sonoma, specific points of purchase were set up in department stores such as&nbsp;Kohl&#39;s&nbsp;and&nbsp;Macy&#39;s. Specific color mixers were released for specific retailers or to benefit charities, such as a pink mixer released to raise funds for breast cancer research or mixers sold at&nbsp;Target&nbsp;stores being available in that company&#39;s signature shade of red. The ProLine range of appliances was launched in 2003 with an initial six-month exclusivity agreement with Williams-Sonoma.

La Pavoni transforms coffee machines into luxury objects and artworks, promoting

the concept of &ldquo;Made in Italy&rdquo; into the

world with products that combine quality

and design.

La Pavoni means &ldquo;Espresso&rdquo; all over the

world, a brand that for over a century has

been recognized as the Italian excellence in the production of coffee machines.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;La Pavoni , over its history, has decided to focus on one main category , and to do it in the best way. La Pavoni coffee machines have never followed mass market criteria, but it has always guaranteed high- quality products, a quality acknowledged worldwide.

&nbsp;The ability to produce highly competitive machines from a technological point of view has always gone hand in hand with a great care for their appearance, ever since the production of the earliest models.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;In 1948 La Pavoni manufactured its first machine

&nbsp;with horizontal boiler.

&nbsp;This project was conceived by Gio Ponti, Antonio

&nbsp;Fornaroli and Alberto Rosselli, whose cooperation gave birth to model 47, called LA CORNUTA, because

&nbsp;of its brewing groups standing out from the

&nbsp;cylindrical boiler body.

&nbsp;

The cooperation between Alberto Rosselli and

Angelo Tito Anselmi gave life in 1961 to a model called BRASILIA.

In the same year, developing an idea of a

Milanese artisan, la Pavoni launches its first

electrical machine for domestic use. This machine could brew espresso coffee and hot drinks, as in

coffee bars. That machine was called

EUROPICCOLA.

&nbsp;

The Esperto models, latest la Pavoni&rsquo;s competition machines for Espresso specialists.

The cutting edge model of domestic lever machines. Valuable materials and the chance of a constant

monitoring of the brewing pressure carried out by

pulling down the lever, allow even the most

demanding users to brew a customized espresso

through repeatable extraction curves.
