How Wusthof Became the Best
Wusthof has become one of the most well known and well respected knife manufacturers in the world thanks to their constant pursuit of producing high quality knifes through controlled quality workmanship. The company is based in Solingen, Germany and produces a number of knife ranges available to consumers, the most popular of which are the Grand Prix and Classic series, both of which have been highly recommended by consumer reports.
Wusthof was established in 1814 and has remained a family business ever since. The instantly recognisable logo was trademarked in 1895 at the Berlin patent office and from that point on they have always set the standard for the design and manufacture of high quality knives despite their increasing competition coming from other brands such as Global, Henckels and Chicago Cutlery.
Since the company was first established in the 19th century, it has always retained a family business atmosphere and is now being managed by seventh generation management Harald Wusthof. The company has steadily grown since 1814 and now boasts two state of the art facilities in Solingen that house over 300 dedicated and highly skilled workers. The production line of the company is highly managed and controlled so that they can ensure that each knife they manufacture is of the highest quality.
The knife range produced by the company has grown extraordinarily along with the company’s workforce. While their two major product lines have continued to be the classic and grand prix ranges, the company now sells a range of knives that exceeds the 350 mark as well as a growing range of kitchen and knife accessories such as sharpeners, knife blocks, kitchen scissors and cutting boards.
The brand reputation that Wusthof have been able to create is envied by their competitors and they seem to be able to continue developing an unbeatable brand due to each and every knife they produce meeting their highest standards of quality.
