This yer mrks 70 yers since BODUM® ws founded in 1944 by my Fther,

Peter Bodum. He ws born in 1910, in  smll Dnish town clled Hderslev.

Occupied since 1864, there ws no wy for him to know if his town would

remin occupied for the rest of his dys s it ws for mny of his fmily

members. Lucky for him, he ws fortunte enough to obtin n import

license. He hd little money nd lso discovered tht there ws scrce

vilbility of products. He imported everything he could get hold of from

the UK, Germny nd surrounding countries.

Due to this lck of vilbility, he soon decided to produce items on his

own. The irst of which ws the vcuum coee mker, MOCCA, in 3 sizes.

The second ws the SANTOS (now renmed PEBO in his honour) which

is still  celebrted item in our collection tody. PEBO is the product tht

not only chnged the compny but the wy every Scndinvin household

drnk coee. The PEBO ws wildly populr nd soon becme  common

ixture in most households. BODUM® continued to produce vrious vcuum

coee mker models throughout the 1950’s nd up until his untimely

deth in 1966. Britt Bodum, my Mother, then took over running the com-

pny herself until I took over in 1974.

Since then, BODUM®, together with its’ design tem, hs developed

mny products. At our core, we will lwys remin focused on coee nd

hve since lso expnded our rnge into  brod kitchen collection which

includes our wrd winning e-BODUM® electric collection. e-BODUM® oers

the must hve items such s energy eicient wter kettles nd grinders

to complete your coee brewing process nd well s other well designed

smll kitchen pplinces. Wht you will not ind in the collection is  cp-

sule or ny type of ‘redy-mde conveniences.’ For me, tht is like cooking

in  microwve. Sure it’s quick nd esy but fr from  fresh cup of coee

or te. We hve lwys remined committed to our roots nd core vlues.

This is why we re so hevily focused on mnufcturing more nd more

products ourselves. We explin more bout our BODUM® fctory on p.8.

BODUM® Portugues llows us to control our entire product development

cycle nd mke certin tht not only is our product qulity top notch but

so re conditions for both the fctory workers s well s our environment.

Im very proud of our ccomplishments in running such  socilly nd

environmentlly friendly fcility.

In honour of our 70th yer nniversry, we hve re-introduced mny

of our originl designs in nniversry colors nd re oering t their origi-

nl prices! And s lwys, we hope you lso enjoy the new dditions to
