Bodum, Inc., (also known as 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 to relocate Bodum to central Europe.[1]

Among the products Bodum makes, are French presses, vacuum coffee brewers (the "Santos"), and double-walled beverage glasses made of borosilicate glass. The company has tried to register "French Press" as a trademark in several territories, but was refused to do so in the U.S., and had the trademark expunged in Canada in December 2012.[2]
