About Us: History of Magnalite
Our roots run deep, tracing back to the early days of American cookware innovation. In 1865, the Griswold Manufacturing Company embarked on a journey that would forever change the way we cook. They were the trailblazers, the ones who dared to dream of a better pot and pan.
But the story doesn’t end there. In 1881, the Wagner brothers entered the scene, establishing the Wagner Hollow Ware Company. They took the torch from Griswold and ran with it, becoming the first to introduce cast iron cookware to American kitchens. And in 1891, they took it a step further, founding the Wagner Manufacturing Company and becoming the pioneers of cast aluminum cookware in the United States.
The year 1934 marked a turning point in our history. It was the year we developed a unique alloy that would become the heart and soul of our brand: Magnalite. This innovative material, combined with our unwavering commitment to design and craftsmanship, gave birth to the Magnalite cookware line – a name that would become synonymous with quality and performance.
Though Magnalite cookware is no longer in production, its legacy lives on through the countless meals and memories it helped create. We remain dedicated to honoring that legacy by curating a selection of premium cookware that embodies the same spirit of innovation and excellence that defined Magnalite.
