[3] The company was officially founded in 1900 and started as a match peddler located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

In 1944, the company moved to The Bronx and expanded into the manufacture of stainless steel pots and pans dubbed Farberware.

[4] In 1981 Farberware reversed its plans to move from the Bronx after New York City and State agreed to provide the company with $8 million in low-interest loans.

[6] In 1981, New Jersey leased Farberware's factory building, the borough's largest, to U.S. Industries, which pledged to operate for 25 years.

[9] Meyer Corporation acquired the Farberware license in 1997, moving production outside of the USA at the cost of over 700 jobs.
