About the owner: Lifetime Brands
Lifetime Brands is a publicly listed company headquartered in Garden City, United States. Brandtree records 8 brands under its control, and it is listed as Nasdaq: LCUT.
Lifetime Brands designs, sources and sells branded kitchenware, tableware and other home products, with its headquarters in Garden City, New York. Its own company timeline traces the business to the 1945-founded Lifetime Cutlery Corporation and records the later acquisitions of Pfaltzgraff, Mikasa, Fred & Friends, Kitchen Craft, Wilton Armetale, Fitz and Floyd and S'well. It also sells under licence: the 10-K lists Farberware, KitchenAid, Sabatier and Dolly Parton as licensed brands, and KitchenAid is already recorded under its owner, so none of these are listed here as Lifetime-owned.
