Toastess International
We opened our doors in August
2000 under new ownership and management. We are dedicated to providing
the same high level of quality and product value as our predecessors,
Toastess Inc. We are bringing to market the latest innovations thanks
to the combined efforts of our talented staff and the best minds in the
world of electric housewares. Today's product mix is a variety of small kitchen electrics
including kettles, skillets, woks, toasters, coffeemakers, warmers, hotplates,
corn poppers, and several specialty items.
Our Pioneering Predecessors
Toastess Inc. was founded in 1945 by two brothers who
quickly became pioneers in the Canadian housewares industry. Among its many "firsts"
was Canada's first fully immersible electric frypan. Toastess was also
one of the first in Canada to apply non-stick coating to electric frypans.
In 1962, Toastess was awarded a Canadian design award for its first electric
kettle. Toastess launched the first immersible deep fryer in North America
in 1965. Many other "firsts" followed:
- First to make electric kettles with a concealed element;
- First to use non-stick coating on the inside of kettles to reduce scale build-up;
- First to design and build a whistling electric kettle;
- First to offer a two-year guarantee on its products.
For over 50 years, Toastess
Inc. was a manufacturing driven company, producing a basic range of quality
electric housewares for Canadian (and in recent years American) kitchens.
Shortly after the beginning of the new millennium, Toastess Inc. ceased
operating and closed its doors. The Toastess brand was sold, and a new
Toastess emerged.
Today
Toastess International takes great pride in the legacy of its
predecessor. It is this rich history and tradition that inspires our commitment
to develop new and exciting products. With renewed focus, Toastess International
aims to create many more "firsts" and to continue the
vision two brothers had over 50 years ago.
