Paderno Cookware is a Canadian company that has been providing quality cookware for over 40 years. Since 1979, they have created an extensive range of products which includes stainless steel frying pans, nonstick skillets, saucepans with lids, and more. Paderno is a household name in Canada, and for good cause. Their products have a reputation for being innovative, reliable, and easy to find.
Canadian Roots, International Acclaim
The first Paderno plant in Canada was established on Prince Edward Island in 1979, and it is still in operation today. The plant has become part of the island’s cultural and industrial heritage. It is also one the largest employers on Prince Edward Island.
Over time, Paderno has branched out to become more than just cookware manufacturers. They now offer tools and accessories for your kitchen as well. Their products are stocked in some of Canada’s most popular department stores such as Loblaws, IGA, Zehrs Markets, and Fortino’s.
Paderno Cookware has a long history in Canada, but their products have global recognition. Many of Paderno’s cookware can be found featured on international best-of lists, such as their Dutch oven and cast-iron cookware.
Paderno Bought By Canadian Tire
In 2017, Canadian Tire purchased the Paderno brand, with plans to sell the manufacturing and wholesale distribution operations to Meyer Canada. The core cookware is still manufactured in Canada, and all products are designed in Canada.
While many companies can become out-of-touch with their historic and geographic roots as they expand or become bought by larger corporations, Paderno Cookware is very much an independent Canadian company that is still innovating and producing quality cookware.
Staying True to What Works
Paderno has always been a company that is dedicated to producing products with their customers in mind. They do not produce cookware based on the latest trends or gimmicks, but instead they focus on what works and what will last.
Their development team regards their Canadian heritage as a privilege, and they do their best to incorporate Canadian values and needs into the cookware.
Paderno Cookware has been a favorite of Canadians for nearly 40 years, and it looks like that reputation is going to continue well into the future. It’s no wonder why Americans are now taking an interest in Paderno after seeing how much love Canadians have given them.
