We offer products from a number of European based companies. Just as many US based companies, the German companies have the same problems as we do here. To stay competitive ever rising wages and employer taxes force many of them to move their manufactuting facilities abroad. That of course, as you all know, leads to other problems. Often the quality takes a hit, or the material used in the process is not equal to the specifications. We are proud to present you cookware and bakeware Made in Germany, from WMF, Kaiser, and Fissler.
