Bodum, Inc., (also stylised BODUM and bodum) is a tableware and kitchenware company founded in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1944 by Peter Bodum. In 1978, the son of the founder and new chief executive officer, Jørgen Bodum, moved the company to Switzerland.
Among the products Bodum markets are French presses, vacuum coffee brewers (the "Santos"), and double-walled beverage glasses made in China of borosilicate glass. The company has tried to register "French Press" as a trademark in several territories, but failed in the U.S., and had the trademark expunged in Canada in December 2012.
