Our history

1899

Beka Cookware has a rich history dating back to 1899. Starting with Daniel Braunand Jakob Kemmler, they co-founded the Beka Cookware brand in Betzingen, Germany and embarked on the manufacture of high-quality cookware.

In the following years Beka Cookware became a well established brand name in Germany and other countries.

1960

Worldwide patents in innovative technologies and overall customer satisfaction contributed to the growing success, resulting in the construction of an even bigger production plant in Tübingen, Germany.

2000

In 2000 the Belgian cookware manufacturer Allinox bought the Beka Cookware brand. With headquarters moved to Oostrozebeke, Belgium, a distribution centre in France and a growing number of sales offices, Beka Cookware consolidated its position on the European market.

A few years later, long term plans to pursue an international image led to the opening of sales and operational offices in the United States and Hong Kong.

2012

To offer an even better service to all our worldwide clients the complete handling was concentrated in a fully renewed distribution centre in Belgium in 2012. Following Beka Cookware’s green philosophy 1500 square metres of solar panels were installed on the new warehouse providing sustainable energy for the Beka headquarters.
