“Can a legacy family-owned kitchenware brand successfully build a scalable global DTC e-commerce channel without losing its sustainability and design identity?”
Founded in 1944 in Denmark as a family kitchenware business, Bodum relocated to Switzerland in 1978 and remains a third-generation family enterprise. The company historically operated through retail distribution but pivoted to prioritize online direct-to-consumer sales as a primary revenue channel, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. To support this shift, Bodum partnered with Stripe to enable local payment methods across global markets and streamline checkout experiences. The company remains privately held with no venture backing.
Bodum processes payments through Stripe.
Bodum is founded in 1944 and headquartered in Triengen, Switzerland.
