SUNBEAM PRODUCTS

'Sunbeam Products' is an American brand that has produced electric home appliances since 1910. Their products have included the Mixmaster mixer, the Sunbeam CG waffle iron, Coffeemaster (1938-1964)[1] and the long-lived fully-automatic T20 toaster (with no levers to push) (see photo attesting to its legendary longevity)[2].
Sunbeam bought out the Rain King Sprinkler Company and produced one of the most popular sprinkler lines of the 1950's and 1960's.

Meanwhile, Sunbeam continued to expand outside of Chicago. By the end of the 1970s, as the leading American manufacturer of small appliances, Sunbeam enjoyed about $1.3 billion in annual sales and employed nearly 30,000 people worldwide. In 1981, after Sunbeam was bought by Allegheny International Inc. of Pittsburgh, its Chicago-area factories were closed and the headquarters moved from the Chicago region.
Under the management of Albert J. Dunlap, Sunbeam went into decline through the 1990s. Dunlap was fired and the company filed for bankruptcy protection in 2001. The next year it emerged as a private company under the name American Household, Inc. (AHI). Its former household products division became the subsidiary Sunbeam Products, Inc. [3]
AHI was purchased in September 2004 by the Jarden Corporation, of which it is now a subsidiary [4].
Sunbeam is now a brand within the global brand portfolio of Jarden Consumer Solutions, a subsidiary of Jarden Corporation.
