The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Weber started in 1952 in Chicago when George Stephen built the first kettle grill from a steel buoy. He welded a grate inside, added legs, and sold the idea to neighbors. The company makes charcoal and gas grills. The Genesis line launched in 1985 and brought gas grilling to backyards everywhere. Today Weber operates globally and dominates the residential grill market. It ranks fifth among gift-category brands tracked across 21,133 companies. The company remains synonymous with backyard cooking in North America.
