The John Oster Manufacturing Company was a maker of small appliances. The Oster brand is continued today as a trademark of Sunbeam Products, a division of Jarden.
The firm was begun in 1924 by John Oster, manufacturing manually powered hair clippers designed to cut men's hair. John Oster Manufacturing Company was established in the garage of John Oster in Racine, Wisconsin. In 1928, they introduced a motor-driven clipper.
In 1946, in order to diversify, the John Oster Manufacturing Company bought the Stevens Electric Company, which had received a patent on the liquifying blender in 1922.[1] After the acquisition, the brand “Osterizer” was adopted for these blenders.[2]
In 1960, Oster Manufacturing was acquired by Sunbeam.[2]
