History

Oreck Corporation was founded by David Oreck in 1963 and began as a manufacturer of upright vacuum cleaners for the U.S. hotel industry. David Oreck designed a lightweight yet powerful vacuum to relieve the drudgery felt by hotel housekeepers using heavier models then available. Hotel staff wanted to buy these improved vacuum cleaners for their own homes, and the company began selling its products to residential consumers as well. Today the company produces and sells vacuums, steam mops, floor machines, air purifiers, and cleaning products for use in both hotels and homes throughout the U.S., Canada, and parts of Europe. Its principal manufacturing facilities are based in Cookeville, Tennessee.
