The John Oster Manufacturing Company was a maker of small appliances. The Oster brand is continued today as a trademark of the Sunbeam Corporation.
The firm was begun in 1924 by John Oster, manufacturing manually powered hair clippers designed to cut men's hair. In 1928, they introduced a motor-driven clipper.
In 1946, in order to diversify, the John Oster Manufacturing Company bought the Stevens Electric Company, which had received a patent on the liquifying blender in 1922.[1] After the acquisition, the brand “Osterizer” was adopted for these blenders.
In2011, Oster Manufacturing was acquired by Sunbeam.
