Broil King

In 1904, Theodore Adam Witzel founded the Rite-Away Fountain Pen Company in Berlin, Ontario, Canada (now Kitchener, Ontario). The company manufactured fountain pens and ink. Two years later, in 1906, the company stopped making writing implements and specialized in the manufacture of handheld and electric vacuum cleaners. The company was the first in Canada to manufacture and sell these products. 

In 1908 the company was renamed Onward Manufacturing Company Limited and began manufacturing furniture called The Sliding Furniture Shoe. 

In 1909 T.A. Witzel has exclusive rights to manufacture and sell electric vacuum cleaners in the UK. A second company, the Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Company, was formed. Eureka retail stores were set up across Canada to sell electric vacuum cleaners, household vacuum cleaners, and electric washing machines. 

During World War II, most of the company's regular activities were interrupted as it manufactured tools, molds and parts for airplanes, ammunition boxes, tanks and mines. After the war, the company went back to selling vacuum cleaners through dealers. In 1946 the production of cupboards and fittings began. In 1948, Theodore Adam Witzel, the company's founder, died. His son, Theodore Andrew Witzel Sr. (1918-1955), who joined the company in 1935, became president. 

Between 1949 and 1960, the company introduced Speed Queen washers and dryers, Emerson and Motorola, and electronic products to Ontario. They introduced Jenn Air stoves, Sub-Zero refrigerators and freezers, Weber grills and Panasonic's line of electronics to Canada.​ 

In 2001, Onward Cluthé Hardware Products Inc.'s hardware division was sold to Montreal-based Richelieu Hardware so the companies could focus on growing the gas grill, injection molding and appliance businesses.

In 2010, OMC Barbecues AB was established to support its growing customer base in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Estonia. Broil King and GrillPro were redesigned in 2012 and their packaging has been redesigned for hundreds of products.

In 2013, Broil King introduces the Baron gas grill series, which has a unique and modern design. At the same time, Onward is terminating its distribution agreement for Weber Stephen's products in Canada and Broil King grills are coming into focus as Onward goes independent. 

The growing European presence is expanded in 2016 to expand Broil King France and Broil King Schweiz AG is formed to support Swiss customers. In 2017, Broil King Germany GmbH was taken over to support the German market.

Today, Broil King continues to be at the forefront of the grilling industry, offering a wide range of grills and accessories to best meet customers' needs.
