Bodum, Inc. is a Danish-Swiss kitchenware manufacturer headquartered in Triengen, Switzerland . Founded in Copenhagen, Denmark , in 1944 by Peter Bodum, the company was moved to Switzerland in 1978 by his son, Jørgen, who continued to run the company as chief executive.[ 2] [ 3]
Among the products Bodum markets are French presses ,[ 4] vacuum coffee brewers (the "Santos " and "Pebo "), and double-walled beverage glasses made in China of borosilicate glass .[ 5] [ 6] Their products are advertised as BPA free .[ 7] The company has tried to register "French Press" as a trademark in several territories, but failed in the U.S., and had the trademark expunged in Canada in December 2012.[ 8]
Bodum entered into a partnership agreement with American coffee company Starbucks in November 2016 to sell their French presses. In January 2019, the partnership agreement ended as Starbucks recalled defective presses.[ 9] [ 10] [ 11]
Their kitchenware featured on the set of Star Trek: The Next Generation , most notably a glass mug with black handle from which Captain Picard drinks his signature Tea, Earl Grey, hot .[ 12] [ 13] [ 14] [ 15]
The company remains family-owned under Jørgen Bodum's leadership, co-owned with his sister, Pia Bodum.[ 16]
