Founding Story
Saladmaster is located in Arlington, Texas and was established in 1946. Harry Lemmons began the operation of the Company in January of 1947 with a capital of $9,000. With that, he purchased inventory, office equipment and sales prizes. At this point, his Company had only one product, which was the Saladmaster Machine. By the end of the first year, he had three salesmen and 100 distributors. This growth required him to (www.mlmlegal.com) move his production out of his home and into a new facility at 4503 Worth Street in Dallas, Texas. There he stayed for the next two years.

Saladmaster offers a brief history that is illustrated as follows:

In 1949, Harry bought a new building at the cost of $50,000 at 131 Howell Street in Dallas. That is where the Company remained for the next 43 years.

In 1950, Harry introduced the Mirror Masterbuilt Aluminum Cookware that included the vapor-valve in the covers. He was featured in the Wall Street Journal.

In 1952, the Company introduced 18-8 (3-ply) stainless steel cookware and other products like Bavarian China, Leaded Crystal, Stainless Flatware and stainless cutlery.

In 1982, Saladmaster introduced T-304 (5-ply) Surgical Stainless Steel Cookware.

The Company was growing so significantly that in 1992, they had to relocate to Arlington, Texas.
