History

Made In was founded in 2017 by Chip Malt and Jake Kalick, drawing on a fourth-generation kitchen supply family business that opened in 1929. The company sold its first Stainless Clad Frying Pan in 2017, almost a century after the family business began. From the start, Made In focused on making professional-quality cookware available directly to consumers, bypassing traditional retail markups. The brand built a network of thousands of restaurants whose chefs contribute to product design and development, ensuring the cookware performs in professional kitchens. Manufacturing takes place in the United States and Europe, using raw materials sourced globally. Over time, Made In expanded its range from stainless clad cookware to carbon steel, non stick, enameled cast iron, knives, bakeware, drinkware, glassware, and tabletop items. The company has become known as the internet's favorite cookware, with more than 140,000 five-star reviews. It sells through its own website and retail stores, and offers limited edition collaborations such as Chef Tom Colicchio's Carbon Steel Collection. Made In remains privately held.
