We take vast amounts of time selecting the color of each room in our home, choosing just the right shade of red for that special dress, and let's not forget Thunder Gray Chromaflair for your new Cadillac! Yes, that is actually a color offered by Cadillac this year. Over the past few years, kitchen tools and gadgets have finally broken free from black and red by joining the rainbow of color shared by their table top and small appliance cousins. ARG Manufacturing has embraced color from day the company started. Willow Green and Inca Gold found their way into tens of thousands of homes through ARG Manufacturing's Chef Select Ergo kitchen tools and gadgets. Top Chef products are identified through their signature orange color logo, which established orange as the signature color for the company's Top Chef products. Bella tools and gadgets are truly a counter culture adding to the rainbow of color by coming in eight different colors! In addition to the products men- tioned above, one of ARG Manufacturing's best performing lines is its Jewel Tone Silicone Kitchen Tools. Red, green, blue, yellow, orange, purple and tangerine cover 12 feet of wall space in the company's showroom and have found their way into planograms from supermarkets to department stores. With typical retails in the $3.99 and $4.99 range con- sumers have responded well to ARG Manufacturing's Jewel Tone Silicone program by purchasing over one mil- lion pieces in less than two years! Stop and visit booth S4043 during the IH+HS Show to see how ARG Manufacturing can brighten your bot- tom line by adding color to your prod- uct assortment.

PILLIVUYT STEPS UP TO THE FUTURE When it comes to fuel use, western European homes have long been many steps ahead of the U.S. in their use of appliances that are more efficient and economical than those commonly used in our homes. The induction stove, which has been a commonplace appliance in Europe for many years, is a prime exam- ple of a technology that is far superior to our standard gas and electric stoves in both speed of heating and greatly reduced energy consumption. Induction stoves are finally making inroads into U.S. homes and hearts and just in time to cap- italize on that trend, Pillivuyt France is now ready to introduce porcelain for the induction stovetop to the U.S. market. The new Ulysses line was developed in collaboration with IMERYS, Europe's leading manufacturer of ceramic com- pounds. The revolutionary material has been employed by Pillivuyt to produce cookware items that are suitable for every type of cooking surface – gas, elec- tric, or induction. The induction items include two deep casseroles and two shallower braising pans; these employ a very sophisticated patented technology in which a silver-based transfer is applied to the flame-proof casseroles. For non- induction uses, the casseroles also come in a flame-proof version and the line is rounded out with several unique shapes that can also be put on direct heat sources such as gas and electric burners. The Ulysses induction and flame-proof items are not the only innovations in the works at the Pillivuyt factory. Under new leader- ship, Pillivuyt is looking in many directions – developing non-slip items to address the needs of shipping companies, airlines, and private yacht outfitters – creating new shapes that appeal to chefs and creative cooks around the world and in all types of venues – bringing imaginative and practical plat- ing options to hospitals and health facili- ties – and experimenting with many new glazes to add color and dimension to their highly recognizable and striking white items. Throughout the development process, Pillivuyt always keeps in mind their mission of providing the con- sumer with products that are practical, durable, versatile, and, not least of all, aesthetically pleasing. The goal is to give the consumer a great cooking tool, something they can truly rely on and use without worry, and most importantly, be proud to put on their table on special occasions and every day. For almost 200 years, Pillivuyt has been and remains just that good. For more information, visit booth S3936 at the 2013 IH+HS and visit www.pil- livuytus.com.

About Everware International's Baskets Throughout human history, we have always needed to transport and store our belongings. Baskets have served this function and many cultures have done their part to make baskets more attractive and pass on the traditions of bas- ket weaving. Most baskets use natural materials, such as willow, rattan, bam- boo and other fibers. E v e r w a r e International noticed that those baskets are limited in what it can provide and needed to be replaced often. This lead to the following ques- tions: What materials will make a bas- ket more durable? Can we upgrade the function and use of baskets? Should people be limited to black, brown and natural colors? Everware International wanted to revolutionize baskets by mak- ing them more durable, color- ful, multi-functional and applicable to modern use. To that end, the company's bas- kets use advanced polypropy- lene and stainless steel to ensure that each basket is durable, functional, and color- ful.
