STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Conair LLC is announcing that it has acquired The Fulham Group, exclusive maker of Cuisinart Outdoor Products and a long-term business partner. The transaction closed on August 31^st and this is Conair's first acquisition since becoming part of American Securities' portfolio of companies.

"Conair has an expert eye at identifying high performing brands that are right for our areas of business," said Chief Executive Officer Ronald T. Diamond. "Having worked so closely with the Fulham Group, we knew they were well-run and produced an excellent product," he said.

Conair LLC acquired Cuisinart in 1989 and over the decades has taken the brand from a one-product company to a comprehensive purveyor of home kitchen goods, with both electric and non-electric divisions.

The Fulham Group to Become Cuisinart Outdoors^®

The Fulham Group was founded in 2007 by Kris Kahn to conceive, design and distribute outdoor products including grills, smokers, griddles, pizza ovens, heaters and fire pits. The Fulham Group will be renamed Cuisinart Outdoors. All employees will be retained in the transition, and will remain in their current location in Newton, MA.

"Our familiarity with Cuisinart translates to a seamless integration as we already have a strong understanding of the Cuisinart consumer as well as their design principles," said Kahn.
