A Legacy of Quality: Magnalite Pots
Magnalite’s story began in 1865 with the Griswold Manufacturing Company, pioneers in cast iron cookware. In 1881, the Wagner brothers joined the scene, establishing Wagner Hollow Ware Company, credited with the first cast iron cookware in the US. Their dedication to quality continued in 1891 with the founding of Wagner Manufacturing Company, where they became the first in America to create cast aluminum cookware.

The turning point came in 1934. Wagner developed a unique, proprietary metal alloy called Magnalite. This innovative material, combined with a focus on design, led to the creation of the well-respected Magnalite cookware line, known for its even heat distribution and beautiful mission-style handles.
Magnalite’s success continued through the years. In 1957, Wagner acquired their longtime competitor, Griswold Manufacturing, solidifying their position in the cookware industry. In 1979, they introduced Magnalite Professional, a hard-anodized cast cookware line, showcasing their commitment to constant improvement.
Today, Magnalite remains a beloved American tradition. The original cookware, hand-crafted in Sidney, Ohio, is prized by collectors and everyday cooks alike. The legacy of Wagner and their commitment to quality lives on in every Magnalite pot and pan.
