About Kenwood
Kenwood was founded in Woking in 1947 and its Chef stand mixer, launched in 1950, is the British equivalent of the KitchenAid. De'Longhi acquired the company in 2001. The Chef takes a wide range of attachments driven from a single power take-off, a design that has stayed compatible across decades of models.
