Tramontina

LYON Cookware offers a compelling combination of visual appeal and multi-tasking performance, featuring unique stovetop oven and stovetop baking capabilities. Using the latest cold-forged technology from the automotive industry and elegant design, Tramontina USA, Inc. has introduced LYON as part of their Limited Editions™ line of premium cookware.

Tramontina USA Inc. is a leading supplier of cookware for the domestic and international market, with a variety of product lines for the full culinary experience. Unlike many cookware companies that outsource production, Tramontina is a true manufacturer, with Tramontina factories all over the world, including the United States.

Celebrating 100 Years of Quality Products

Tramontina celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2011. The company is named after Valentin Tramontina, an Italian entrepreneur who founded The Tramontina Group in Brazil in 1911. Headquartered in Rio Grande do Sul, the southmost state of Brazil, the company operates a network of 13 automated factories as well as many distribution centers and representative offices in key regions of the world, providing products to national and international retailers and its consumers.

Tramontina USA is now one of the largest corporate affiliates of The Tramontina Group and represents a heritage of quality kitchenware for the world’s table.

Investing in Innovation

Tramontina offers a robust assortment of cookware lines designed to appeal to anyone from culinary professionals to novice cooks.

Tramontina’s new product development begins with retailer relationships to identify the needs of the marketplace. Tramontina’s well-equipped engineering department supports new product development with creative design ideas and manufacturing know-how.

Investing in the USA

Headquartered in Sugar Land, Texas, the Tramontina campus contains more than 1.4 million square feet of offices, distribution centers, and assembly and processing warehouses, employing over 300 people.

The company owns Tramontina U.S. Cookware, Inc., a factory in Manitowoc, Wisc., with a production capacity of more than 50,000 units per day. Tramontina U.S. Cookware now supplies nearly 50% of Tramontina USA’s total cookware volume.

“Consumers appreciate high-quality U.S.-made products, plus we have a ‘green’ advantage. Domestic production shortens lead times and minimizes transportation, which reduces fuel consumption and the need for other resources,” said Antonio Galafassi, president and CEO of Tramontina USA. The company credits its “Made in the U.S.A.” program as one of the key reasons for its continued growth.

Investing in Retailer Relationships

Tramontina shows its dedication to its retail partners through superior customer service and a willingness to tailor products and programs to their needs. Tramontina’s entire organization is focused on logistics and quick response to the marketplace.

Tramontina has strong capabilities for providing merchandising support for its retailers. Its in-house advertising and design department is fully equipped with the latest generation of design software and computers. A digital photography studio provides quick turnaround of all product images used in the package design and marketing of products. The combination of all these tools enables Tramontina to consistently deliver a visually appealing, high quality retail package.
