About the history of Jupiter kitchen machines
In 1921, canning millionaire Wilhelm Leibbrand realises that the era of the glorious canning factory is coming to an end. The entrepreneur makes a decision and develops the first vertically operating manual universal machine made of aluminium sand casting. As a trained cook, Leibbrand was a man of practice and knew exactly what he was doing. With Swabian diligence and inspired by the desire to continue the old successes, he founded the Jupiter company in 1921. The first kitchen machines were sold at trade fairs and housewives' exhibitions - a thorny path accompanied by inflation and the economic crisis. Nevertheless, Wilhelm Leibbrand was able to record steady growth.
Wilhelm Leibbrand was only 56 years old. Even before that, he had left the Jupiter company in the hands of the next generation. In 1930 Otto Kurz joins the company to begin his commercial apprenticeship. Jupiter's representatives undertake intensive sales trips - from Elsas-Lorraine to Breslau or from Hamburg to Garmisch - and thus helped Jupiter kitchen machines to make a name for themselves.
The Second World War also brought the further development of the Jupiter company to a standstill. Armament orders had to be accepted. In 1949, Clara Kurz and her husband, who had returned from war captivity, were able to continue the expansion of the company. People's huge pent-up demand and a lucky hand enabled Jupiter Kitchen Machines to rise again.
The range of products grew, but it is thanks to the Swabian consistency that even today - 100 years after the company was founded - it is precisely the appliances that have been part of the Jupiter Küchenmaschinen GmbH portfolio for many years that account for its success: Mincers and choppers, universal slicers and juicers.
