Lifetime Brands, Inc.

A designer and marketer of kitchenware, tableware, and other home goods, Lifetime Brands sells well-known names like Farberware, KitchenAid, Mikasa, and Pfaltzgraff through department stores, grocery stores, and online. The company traces its roots to 1945, when the original Lifetime Cutlery Corporation was founded; in 1957 Milton Cohen and Sam Siegel started a Brooklyn knife business called Reo Products, which three years later bought the larger Lifetime Cutlery and adopted its name to borrow the older firm's reputation.
