OXO Consumer Services

Mission

OXO is dedicated to providing innovative consumer products that make everyday living easier.

Design Philosophy

OXO was founded in 1990 on the philosophy of Universal Design, which means the design of products usable by as many people as possible. For OXO, that means designing products for young and old, male and female, lefties and righties and many with special needs. The goal of making products more usable forces us to first identify problems and inefficiencies of existing products (including our own!), not only in terms of comfort, but performance as well. This gives us the foundation to meet our commitment of making products that make a tangible improvement in peoples' daily lives.

Annual Growth:

Between 1991 and 2009, OXO’s annual growth rate in sales was 27%.

Distinguishing Feature:

Universal Design - A philosophy of making products that are easy to use for the widest possible spectrum of users.

Satisfaction Guarantee:

We guarantee everything we make! If for any reason you are not satisfied with an OXO product, return it for replacement or refund. Please contact OXO's customer service department and we will be happy to assist you.

Meaning of OXO:

OXO's founder, Sam Farber, chose the name "OXO" because whether it's horizontal, vertical, upside down or backwards, it always reads "OXO."

Pronunciation:

We hear a lot of interpretations of the pronunciation of the name, the most common being "hugs & kisses" or "Oh-X-Oh." The official pronunciation is "Ox-Oh."

Most Popular OXO Tool Among OXOnians

The OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner ranks the most popular which, not surprisingly, is one of the most popular items among consumers.

Our Favorite Hobbies

We are a diverse group here with almost as many answers provided as there are OXOnians, but somehow it works. Most prefer to be outdoors, whether that's running, hiking, biking or going to the beach. Travel and reading are also very popular. Among our readers, most still prefer to curl up with a good old-fashioned book (instead of an e-reader).

Pet Preference

We're most definitely dog people.
