OXO International

OXO International

OXO International is a US based manufacturer of ergonomic handheld kitchen utensils owned by Helen of Troy Limited.

Their best-known brand is "Good Grips", a line of utensils distinguishable by their soft black rubber grips. Oxo's range of kitchen tools were first launched for arthritics and were an instant hit. The design firm responsible for the design of the original set of OXO products, and many additional product lines, is Smart Design. The range is often thought of as a forerunner to the inclusive design movement.
