Somehow it’s summer. The second half of the year is upon us, and with many excellent trade shows in the rear view mirror, plus plenty more to come (more on that in a moment) our attention turns to the crucial second half of the year. It’s in summer when retailers really begin their slow and steady journey towards the golden quarter - the key selling period even for an industry like kitchenware that is less reliant on seasonality and end-of-year gift buying. Sambonet takes our cover this month highlighting the super Titan Pro Green range, a cookware collection that promises durability, functionality, and some true green, sustainable credentials to match its arresting colour way. As Valentina Guatelli, Marketing Manager at Sambonet explains: “Sustainability - as well as the assurance of safe cooking processes - are key priorities for our consumers. They’re looking for products that combine performance with trust and responsibility.” Learn more about the new collection on page 14.
Our other big spotlight this month is with Lifetime Brands, as we explore how the team are giving the beloved KitchenAid brand an aesthetic overhaul. “Think of it as the next generation of KitchenAid tools and gadgets,” Claire Budgen, Commercial and Marketing Director, Lifetime Brands tells us. Discover how the team are balancing a legacy of functionality, quality and reliability with contemporary design sensibilities on page 18. Elsewhere we gear up for a return to London’s Business Design Centre for the Exclusively Show, the true start to summer here in the UK, and a reminder that product innovation can land at any time of the year.
From the Editor
Known for hosting quality exhibitors, and as a launch pad for new product targeting the second half of the year, stand space sold out in record time for this year’s edition. And with a a growing contingent of international buyers jetting in to see what’s hot in Islington (even if the weather isn’t always so scorching), this year’s show is set to to be a good one. Head one over to page 20 for our show guide.
We also heard back from the Inspired Home Show in Chicago from PR Direct Limited’s Sarah Selzer, a legend in her own right and someone who knows the Chicago trade show like the back of her hand. Read what caught Sarah’s experienced eye from among the 300,000 products on show across the colossal show ground over on page 28. And if that wasn’t enough trade show action, we hone in on what makes Zuchex, the Istanbul buying event which marks its 35th anniversary this year, an unmissable show over on page 34. Finally, we cast a spotlight on two of the biggest kitchenware categories, cookware and tea and coffee - both product categories that are daily essentials for billions around the world. Discover hot beverage inspiration on page 16, and brush up on your cookware trends on page 30.
The Kitchenware International team will be out at Exclusively later this month, so do say hi if you see us - it always makes our day!

The Art Of Performance
Bright launch for Robert Welch
British design house Robert Welch has launched its latest stainlesssteel cutlery range, Fairford Bright.
Taking its glamorous design cues from the Art Deco age, infused with heritage notes from a Grecian-inspired old English Parish Pattern, the new collection is compact and elegant. Geometrically-chamfered handles and precise linear detailing are inspired by the fine stonework around the Cotswold design studio where it was created.
“It’s one of my favourites of all the cutlery collections,” said Kit de Bretton Gordon, Head of Design. “For me, Fairford is about refined dining –ladies that lunch, elegant surroundings, all of that Art Deco detailing.
“The shorter handle and longer blade mean it looks and feels beautiful in the hand, and I love the crispness of the lines and the bevelled, chamfered edges.”

OXO teams with FareShare to redistribute 450,000 meals
OXO is marking five years of partnership with 1% for the Planet and tackling food waste with non-profit FareShare. Through a grant of over £76,000 to FareShare, the UK’s leading food redistribution charity, just over £38,000 went towards FareShare’s Surplus with Purpose (SWP) Project, meaning OXO has played a crucial role in making surplus food accessible to those in need.
From May 2024 to April 2025, OXO’s donation has enabled the rescue of 188.8 tonnes of surplus food, resulting in the equivalent of over 449,523 meals to FareShare’s network of over 8,000 charities and community groups across the UK.

Planning is underway with the expansion of special areas that debuted this year including the Pet Products and Candle Pavilions and the Travel Gear & Luggage Expo. Each of these areas give ret ailers expanded opportunities while complementing our existing and more traditional hous ewa res categories.
The biggest n ews though is that the Show day pattern will change to Tu esday, Wednesday and Thursday rather than over the weekend. Reaction has been overwhelmingly positive from both ret ailers and exhibitors as we embrace the cultural shift with the younger generation placing a higher value on a more “li fe, li fe, work” balance.
We look forward to seeing you in Chicago next March!”

Titan of sustainability
Sambonet is focussing on the growing cookware segment with the Titan Pro Green range, combining performance, design and sustainability. Marketing Manager Valentina Guatelli explores the products and ethos that make this collection special
Valentina Guatelli, Marketing Manager at Sambonet Paderno Industrie explores the company’s new focus on the cookware segment, and why the Titan Pro Green range is the perfect choice for sustainably conscious cooks.
What makes the Titan Pro Green range unique?
Titan Pro Green is the solution that combines performance, design, and sustainability. Just like Titan Pro, every cooking experience is guaranteed. The thickness and finishes of this collection ensure culinary excellence without the need to be a chef, thanks to its perfect heat retention and distribution, a flawless non-stick coating, and refined details—a modern, highly functional lid, and a sturdy, ergonomic handle now even more secure thanks to a double screw.
The new green PFAS-free coating makes Titan Pro Green a true example of environmental respect and personal well-being, allowing for safe cooking while preserving the natural qualities of food. Lastly, the colour—a new, trendy dark green— draws attention to environmental
awareness and enhances every kitchen, just as only Sambonet can.
Is the Titan Pro Green range a sustainable choice for consumers?
Choosing Titan Pro Green means making a conscious commitment— not just to the environment, but also to personal well-being. At Sambonet, sustainability isn’t a trend, it’s a core value. That’s why we’ve developed a range with a
Is sustainability a growing demand from your retail customers and their end consumers?
Especially when it comes to cooking and food contact, sustainability - as well as the assurance of safe cooking processes - are key priorities for our consumers. They’re looking for products that combine performance with trust and responsibility.

ceramic coating a ceramic coating produced without PFAS, BPA, nickel or other heavy metals, ensuring a non-toxic and non-stick surface made with water-based materials and using 50 per cent less CO2 during production. This values added to the durability our brand is known for. It’s about offering products that reflect responsible innovation and Italian excellence.
How do you support the products at retail, both in-store and online?
The cookware segment is becoming increasingly important for Sambonet. We’re fully prepared to support the launch of the new Titan Pro Green with a dedicated influencer campaign and tailored in-store materials designed to enhance product visibility and
presentation. But above all, our goal is to educate retailers—so that consumers can make fully informed and transparent choices when selecting our brand.
The line is Made in Italy. Why is this important for ensuring quality of materials and production processes?
Sambonet has always been a brand close to its consumers— present in their homes and part of their everyday lives. That’s why the quality of our materials and the integrity of our production processes are core pillars of our identity. It’s no coincidence that very few companies can claim, as we proudly do, to have published and filed a sustainability report for the past 12 years. We deeply care about quality, excellence, our local roots, and the well-being of those who believe in our brand.
What are Sambonet’s upcoming strategies in this segment?
We can confidently say that 2026 will bring some major surprisesdevelopments that certainly won’t go unnoticed.

With tea and coffee playing a daily role in the lives of billions, new design trends and a shift to preparing hot beverages at home give the category opportunities for growth
Tea and coffee consumption is steeped in tradition and culture. From the Brits’ famous love of a cuppa, to European café culture, Americanised flavoured frappes, meditative matcha preparation, and bubble tea, tea and coffee play an important role in the daily lives of billions around the world.
According to the US National Coffee Association’s most recent trends report, two thirds of American adults drink coffee everyday, more than juices, sodas and even bottled water. And while US coffee chains like Starbucks are big business across the globe, they still prefer to prepare and consume their coffee at home: 71 per cent of coffee drinkers said they only prepared their coffee at home, up from 63 per cent in 2020.
Recent surveys by the
International Tea Committee meanwhile, found that globally, we drink over five billion cups of tea each day. “As a result, globally tea remains the second most consumed beverage after water and a national

evolving in line with them is key – luckily we have a fantastic team of trend and buying experts who do exactly this,” she said. “It’s also important to recognise what our customers need. With La Cafetière we’ve really created a brand that is a complete tea and coffee

As with other kitchenware categories, design also plays a huge role in appealing to consumers.
“We also continue to see the influence of colour trends come into play and we constantly reflect this in our range with both classic and trend colour options,” said Claire. “Brands have to evolve and we continue to do so.”
With a growing thirst for traditional and trending flavoured hot beverages, and with a host of product options and price points, retailers can expect steady sales from the category in 2025. Here are just some of the best-selling and new-to-market options.

“We’re always looking for ways to honour the KitchenAid legacy whilst evolving to meet the needs of today’s home chefs.

as far afield as South Africa jetting in for last year’s edition.
Expectations are high for 2025, coming off a year of solid growth in 2024; overall visitor levels rose 5 per cent, compounding an upswing of 10 per cent in 2023. Will Jones, Exclusively Show Chair and Chief Operating Officer of show owner BHETA, said this was an “excellent achievement” at a time when traditional retail continues to shrink.
It was also a high watermark for media involvement. A growing number of journalists - including the Kitchenware International team - and online content creators have marked Exclusively as a must-attend show for discovering new trends, hot products and gaining a first look at launches coming down the pipeline for A/W. A new media day in 2024, introduced on the typically slower second day, saw media engagement grow by 41 per cent.
“The team has put a lot of effort into ensuring that the traditionally quieter second day had multiple levels of new appeal to ensure it performed better for all parties,” said
Will. “Over both days, there was more NPD, more brand interaction and more expert forecasting than ever – and the Show as a whole really saw the benefits.”
Sold out in record time
As a result, this year’s show sold out in record time. All exhibition space was booked and allocated five months ago.
“The speed at which the space was snapped up, even in these fairly challenging times, shows yet again how the housewares, gift, and small domestic electricals sector has lost none of its appetite for a physical opportunity to showcase products and network face-to-face,” Will said.
“Visitor turnout was fabulous in 2024 so I am sure that is contributing to exhibitor enthusiasm for 2025.”
Among the returning exhibitors are Morphy Richards, Shark Ninja, RKW, International Cookware & Pyrex, Joseph Joseph, Le Creuset, Ultimate Products, and Lifetime Brands, a longtime supporter of the show.
“Exclusively is incredibly
important to us as it’s one of the best-attended shows in the industry,” said Claire Budgen, Commercial and Marketing Director, Lifetime Brands. “It’s a mid-year must, and allows us to do what we do best – present what’s new and what’s next!
“It’s particularly exciting this year as we will be presenting huge developments across some of our biggest winners. We’re revealing a new era of KitchenAid tools and gadgets,” she added. “Think of it as the next generation of tools and gadgets, reflecting the same spirit of innovation and performance, refreshed with a new contemporary design and at a keener price than ever before, opening up to an aspirational consumer.”
The Lifetime Brands team will also showcase new arrivals from the recently launched Jamie Oliver Big Love collection, La Cafetière, Mikasa, BarCraft, Artesa, and the new Farberware customisable and portable Build-a-Board range that are “already a hit with consumers”.
“We’d love to catch up, show you what’s new and help you
discover what’s next!” Claire added.
RKW’s B2B Marketing Manager Emma Sutton agrees that the show is “an essential opportunity to showcase the strength and diversity of our brand portfolio”.
“It’s a fantastic space that allows us to connect directly with key retail buyers, industry leaders, and media within a focused and innovative environment,” she added.
Buyers on the hunt for fresh brands will also find plenty to explore, with 48 new exhibitors for 2025. They include Japanese Knife Company, kitchenware and tableware supplier Selbrae House, Swiss knife manufacturer Victorinox, and Solution International.
“We are absolutely thrilled to be exhibiting at this years’ Exclusively,” said Sarah Long, Commercial Director at Solution International. “Our in-house team have worked tirelessly on our housewares collections that meet the evolving needs of retailers and consumers alike. We have some exciting new product to show within our outdoor dining range - which has
been created entirely within a closed loop system - and we’ll be showcasing brand new A/W colours across our lunch on-the go best sellers. We very much look forward to meeting new customers to discuss our portfolio and owned label opportunities for 2026.”

Review The Inspired Home Show
From knives and utensils to cookware and storage, the Inspired Home Show in Chicago celebrated its 125th edition this year with an innovative mix of product. PR Direct Limited’s Sarah Selzer reports
Kitchenware bonanza
The Inspired Home Show in Chicago is certainly one of the easiest housewares shows to navigate, with dedicated categories across the two vast halls – South with Dine & Décor, which houses most of the kitchenware and cookware offer, and North with Clean & Contain (storage and cleaning) and Wired & Well electricals (SDA and smart home). These are then interspersed with displays on global innovation (retailers and product design), global design, the Debut section with first-time exhibitors and emerging brands, Pantone Colorwatch, and new areas including a candle pavilion and a trial for a new category,

Cookware and bakeware remains one of the largest product categories, with big US

UK cookware brands were also flying the flag, with firsttime exhibitor Samuel Groves highlighting its provenance and heritage in huge letters on the

stand – ‘Made in British since 1817’.
A much newer British exhibitor is Fire Up with cast iron cookware that beat established names to win the Global Innovation Awards (gia) in the Cook & Bakeware category announced at a gala event at the show. Run by husband and wife team Raghav Agarwal and Padmawati Jain, the cookware has gained plaudits from national media in the UK and is being hailed as the first innovation in cast iron for nearly a century. “It’s an iconic design
that offers incredible cooking,” said Raghav. “People like the idea of the different colour lid knobs we can offer – gold is the default but we can do copper, silver or iridescent, and our packaging is zero plastic.”
European brands were out in force, with French heritage knife brand Opinel back at the show after a good performance the previous year. International sales director Jerome Le Cainec said there had been a mix of large and independent retailers, all loving the heritage and sustainability on offer from the company.
“Sustainability is part of our DNA,” said Jerome. “For the last 40 years we have used cut offs from our wooden handles for heating our factory in Chambery, we keep bees there and we recycle water.”
The business is looking towards becoming a B-Corp. The focus at this year’s show was the launch of the Neo 6 folding knife with rounded tip. “It’s a new target customer for us – more urban,” he said.
Design and innovation are always much in evidence at the Inspired Home Show. This year, some of the stand-out brands included Gourmet Easy with ergonomically-designed stainless steel gadgets like fish turners, meat tenderisers and a previous award-winner, the Garlic Easy with two detachable handles to make light work of coarse or fine mincing. Also Prestoor from Bzyoo in Taiwan, which was using the Chicago show for the world launch of its leak-proof lunchbox in bright colours.
Andreas Decorative Silicone offers a huge range of mats, coasters and jar openers and can offer corporate or bespoke designs. Danica from Canada had Heirloom Mosaic cheese knives which had been selected for the Pantone Color Watch display at the show.
Prepara had a neat ‘eating al desko’ product in the shape of its Salad Pod, which is a jar that features a clip lid on its side. You can add salad and dressing to the jar, then lay it flat and remove the clip lid and it becomes a salad bowl!
That product was merely a runner up in the gias, where there was a strong showing for design and innovation. The Prepara Salad Pod lost out in the Kitchenware category to serial inventor and award winner Dreamfarm from Australia, winning with the Nocutu, while ScoopTHAT Deluxe ice cream scoop from another serial inventor, US business That Inventions, won in Kitchen Hand
Tools & Cutlery.
The show always gives plenty of exposure to new and emerging brands as well as young designers in its other gia category, Excellence in Student Design.
Debut is described as an ‘incubator’ for first-time exhibitors and emerging brands and one of the stand-outs was Bati, a business selling hand-stitched leather goods from Paraguay.
Founded by Taylor Ross seven years ago, Bati is named after the Paraguayan village where
the goods are made (Tobati) and proceeds from sales are used to provide college scholarships to disadvantaged Paraguayan youth, many of whom will be the first to graduate in their family. The range, made from natural cow hide and vegetable-dyed, includes trays, barware and even mills – and are stunning!
Over in North, storage is another increasingly strong category at the show, with worldwide exhibitors offering kitchen and home storage
in a number of materials and styles. Transparent plastic storage (some eco) was on offer including from Vacant and Deli brands; Robely had some striking home storage in powder-coated stainless steel including a first aid box with ‘ouch’ stylishly printed on the front; lots of basketware from Vietnam and Cambodia and one Chinese company, All Star, has established factories in Vietnam and Cambodia and were highlighting the savings to be made.

Cook up a storm
Cookware forms the core of every kitchen - and kitchenware retailer. As consumers increasingly turn to cooking as a hobby and to save money, the sector is enjoying a period of significant growth
Cookware is the bread and butter of any kitchenware retailer.
From saucepans and griddles, to stock pots, woks, casseroles and tagines, they are the workhorses of the kitchen and the core of kitchenware stores.
The rise of online cooking content, food hacks and easily accessible recipes, coupled with the continuing cost-of-living crisis across the globe, more of us are turning to our own kitchens - and for more than quick mid-week meals.
Consumers are making date night dinners, celebration suppers and taking up cooking as a hobby, as much as a necessity.
In the UK, three quarters of adults are cooking at home - according to a study by product intelligence platform Vypr - whether fully from scratch (41 per cent), using some pre-prepared ingredients such as chopped and portioned vegetables (25 per cent), or using meal-kit recipes (eight per cent). Less than a fifth of(18 per cent) frequently eat ready meals.
What’s your best tip for making cookware last longer?
“To keep your cookware in top condition for many years to come, always use recommended utensils to prevent scratches and preserve their surface. Avoid excessively high temperatures, especially with non-stick cookware, as extreme heat can damage the coating and reduce its performance. Appropriate cleaning is also essential, following the manufacturer’s care instructions and avoiding harsh scrubbers or abrasive detergents, which helps maintain their quality and longevity. With the right care, our cookware will remain durable, efficient and reliable, ensuring excellent cooking results every time.”

And consumers can feel good in the knowledge that their cookware is sustainable: the next-generation ceramic coating is scratch and acid resistant, and is produced using 50 per cent less CO2 than other traditional coatings. An ultra-flat, stable bottom allows even heat distribution and retention, providing the perfect cooking surface for browning with less use of fat.
The range includes fry pans, saucepans, saucepans, and omelette pans in a variety of dimensions, as well as a 30cm wok.
Skottsberg has significantly expanded its most popular yet previously limited Stainless Steel cookware collection. Previously the range featured two frying pans, a wok, and a matching lid. For 2025, the line has grown to include a cooking pot in two sizes, a roasting pan with rack, a sauté pan and a saucepan in two sizes.
The Stainless Steel collection offers a superior cooking experience, with even heat distribution and good heat retention. They are dishwasher safe, acid resistant and, because they have no non-stick coating, are PFOA-free.
