About us
This project began in 1992. Through my daily job at
a KitchenAid® service center. I noticed that we
sold a very large volume of replacement attachments
for mixers. This was mostly due to damage from a lack
of realistic storage space. I fashioned a crude holder
for my own mixer’s attachments. Soon after that,
my friends began to ask me to make them a holder as
well. It didn’t take too many requests for the
lights to go on.
I began working on my first patent in 1996. It was issued
in 1998. Due to the design at that time, the cost to
build them was too high to be able to take to market.
I worked on a new design. Made changes for both aesthetics,
and manufacturing. I arrived at a prototype, which went
through testing in a number of local kitchens. The testing
brought me through a few more design changes, to what
we now make.
I found a local manufacturer and developed a network
of business people, which made manufacturing, assembly,
packaging and distribution a reality. I submitted my
new design to the U.S. patent office and am now in patent
pending status, and will soon have my second patent.
I then was able to launch my new product. This launch
happened on November 15, 2003. Since that time I have
expanded to this web page, and am exploring other sales
venues.
Since I personally oversee every aspect of production
I can assure the consumer that the MixerMaid I sell
is of the highest quality, at the lowest cost possible.
After many years of research, development, and investment:
I am now proud to introduce MixerMaid
