Kuhn Rikon celebrated its 100 years and four generations of Kuhn family ownership in style at its factory and headquarters in the Rikon, Switzerland.

The family hosted employees from around the world, including the Kuhn Rikon UK team, for a two-day celebration. Highlights included a “KR Olympics” event held in the Stoos mountain range, bringing together colleagues in a unique and memorable setting.

Edward Margetts, Managing Director of Kuhn Rikon UK, commented: “It was a fantastic way to mark such a significant milestone for the business. Bringing colleagues together from across our global markets really reinforced the strength of the Kuhn Rikon culture and the values that have underpinned the company for a century. The pride in the brand and its heritage was clear to see, and it gives great confidence as we look to the future.”

Kuhn Rikon Switzerland has also acquired German bakeware specialist Städter, adding the well-established brand to its portfolio of cookware, knives, tools, gadgets, and tabletop cooking ranges.

Städter will be launched in the UK at INDX Home in September. Buyers will be able to view the full UK bakeware range, alongside freestanding and countertop spinner displays showcasing an extensive collection of stainless steel and plastic cookie cutters. Both brands will be available on a single order, simplifying purchasing, with stock despatched from the UK warehouse in Wolverhampton.

Commenting on the acquisition, Mr Margetts said: “Städter is a really strong fit for us. It’s a well-respected brand with genuine depth in bakeware, particularly in cookie cutters and cake decorating, where we see clear untapped demand in the UK. From a retail perspective, being able to offer both Kuhn Rikon and Städter on one order, backed by UK stock, makes things straightforward and commercially attractive. We’re looking forward to showcasing the range at INDX.”
