Suzanne Owens
Vice President, Kenyon International
Describe your company.
Kenyon International is a specialty cooking
appliance manufacturer, established in 1931,
focused on providing safer, well-engineered,
and innovative products, produced at our
world headquarters in Clinton, CT, USA.
What trends are you seeing in the
appliance industry? How will you
incorporate them in your products?
With the growing trend towards electrification
away from gas powered vehicles, the same
evolution in cooking towards energy efficient
and environmentally conscious electric
cooking is being regulated in many regions
of the country, and at the forefront of Kenyon
product development. The Kenyon Bridge Series
of Induction cooktops offer that innovative
solution, and deliver the responsiveness of
gas powered cooking appliances, while being
powered by clean green electricity.
Why is it important to be a sustainable
company and how are you sustainable?
All Kenyon cooking appliances are sustainable
as they are powered by electricity and do not
require fossil fuels. This feature is desirable to
architects designing to LEED standards to enable
new and existing buildings to reduce carbon
emissions, energy and waste, conserve
water, prioritize safer materials, and lower their
overall carbon footprint.
What trends are you seeing in the
senior housing industry and how is
your company uniquely positioned to
serve this marketplace?
As the baby boomer generation enters the
senior housing market, whether assisted or
independent living, the desire for technologically
advanced and safer products continues
and properties offering obsolete technologies
are not competitive in today's marketplace.
Kenyon induction cooktops provide a safer
option with a cool to the touch surface and
auto shut-off. Kenyon is well known in the
marine industry and that has translated over
into hospitality, residential, senior and student
housing, military, and recreational vehicles.
