Dacor

This company would love to make Dacor a part of your everyday d?cor. Dacor designs, makes, and distributes clean-lined upscale stoves, grills, dishwashers, refrigerators, ventilation equipment, and other cooking appliances and accessories. The manufacturer, which boasts showrooms in Atlanta, San Francisco, Chicago, and Baltimore, also peddles its products through specialty appliance retailers nationwide. Stan Joseph, who later founded Dacor with his wife Florence in 1965, created the first complete kitchen ventilation system, which became an essential feature of modern homes by the late 1950s. Their sons, Mike (chairman and CEO) and Tony (director), run the company today.
