The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
OXO began in New York in 1990. Sam Farber founded it. They make kitchen tools and gadgets. The Good Grips handle changed everything. Rubber grips fit human hands better. No slipping. No strain. That design became their signature. Now OXO sells globally. Stores stock their peelers, whisks, can openers. They expanded into home organization and cleaning. The brand is tracked weekly among six thousand six hundred forty-nine others across major AI platforms. OXO remains known for tools that work. Simple. Functional. Built for hands.
