Our American Manufacturing Heritage
See our journey to become the 360 Cookware you know and love.
July, 2004
Led by our founder Bryan, the Hurley family invested its life’s savings to break ground on a state of the art cookware and bakeware manufacturing facility in Southeast Wisconsin, also known as the heart of American Cookware manufacturing. This bold move was the family’s best effort to protect the industry and the American made jobs it supported. If the family had moved production to China like many other companies at the time, they would have seen a 60% increase in profits. However, their gamble paid off, and their facility is now cost competitive with similar off shore options.
August, 2005
Very first shell of a pan rolled off the line at a cost of more than $12 million dollars. This was the investment to keep the product made in the USA.
2008
ackcook.com was born as the world’s first direct to consumer cookware brand. Bryan’s vision was to upgrade the look of the product and remove the barriers for customers to purchase, all while making it more affordable. Up until this point the only way to purchase this high quality product was via a live demonstration. While this has always been and remains a successful model, its reach is limited. His disruptive approach was not well received by the industry as the future of ecommerce was an unknown at that point. History shows how his decision played out.
February, 2010
Bryan recognized AckCook was struggling due to limited resources and a lack of marketing expertise, particularly in ecommerce. He persuaded his wife, Beth to leave her biotech career to help him officially launch AckCook as its own company. Although her background was in launching new pharmaceutical products, her skills proved invaluable in successfully launching AckCook as a woman owned small business.
2024
AckCook has transformed more than 70,000 kitchens into the best dining experience possible. With a network of more than one thousand influencers and affiliates, AckCook proudly maintains its Made in USA status at an affordable price, backed by industry-leading customer service and a product that customers passionately stand by.
