OUR HERITAGE

The Dacor story begins, when a young entrepreneur, named Stanley Joseph, opened an appliance store that specialized in marketing the first electric refrigerators.

CHANGING KITCHENS

Stan, with his brother Anthony, began producing the first self-contained kitchen ventilation system and selling them under the brand name Stanthony Ventomatic.

"This revolutionary concept would forever change the functionality of the residential kitchen."
