Dualit was born out of one man's passion for invention. After his enlistment into WWII for the British army, German-born entrepreneur Max Gort-Barten utilised his engineering skills and creativity to manufacture products such as the dual-light fire and the toaster, which really caught people's attention during his time. Today, Dualit produces a range of kitchen and home appliances which remain unmistakably robust and are firmly rooted in the values Max set out for the company in 1945.
