Five decades of excellenceRevolutionizing cookware for half a century
When the first fully bonded pan rolled off our Pennsylvania assembly line 50 years ago, it forever changed how cookware was crafted.
We started making cookware back in 1971, combining our founder's deep knowledge of metallurgy and love of cooking.Bonded, Engineered, & Assembled in USA
Our fully bonded cookware is handcrafted by skilled craftspeople using the finest materials and revolutionary bonding processes, at our mill in Canonsburg, PA.What we stand for
Our mission is to deliver cookware with superior performance and durability to help cooks of all skill levels cook at their best.In Western Pennsylvania born & raised
All-Clad began and still operates in Canonsburg Pennsylvania, a small borough near our founder’s hometown because it offered benefits no other place could. As the birthplace of the American steel and aluminum industry, the region is unmatched when it comes to metal fabrication technology and its metalworkers are among the most skilled in the world. We’re proud to be from PA and we look forward to continue crafting the best fully bonded cookware in the world right here for generations to come.Changing the world of cookware since 1971
The man of metal
Our founder, John Ulam wasn’t a professional chef or a product engineer. He just happened to know metals better than anyone. A renowned metallurgist, John had more than 75 patents for metal crafting and his innovations transformed the metals used to manufacture car parts, build airplanes, and even mint coins.Reinventing the pan
Being an avid home cook, John wondered what would happen if he applied his patented metal crafting methods to cookware. So in the spirit of invention, he took layers of stainless steel, bonded them with aluminum, and shaped them into pans.All-Clad is born
This new bonded cookware cooked food more evenly, was easy to clean, didn’t alter flavors, and didn’t tarnish or warp. It was such a hit, John started our company, All-Clad Metalcrafters, in 1971. Shortly after, he opened a factory near his hometown in Western Pennsylvania.We still make them like we used to
Manufacturing has changed a lot since All-Clad was founded, but our commitment to craftsmanship hasn’t. Unlike other manufacturers who’ve increasingly relied on automation to boost production, we do most of our crafting using time-tested methods to maintain a higher level of quality. Before a piece of fully bonded cookware makes it to your kitchen, over a dozen skilled hands work on it.
