Biographical/Historical Note
National Presto Industries, Inc. was founded in Eau Claire, Wisconsin as Northwestern Steel and Iron Works in 1905. Initially the company manufactured industrial-size pressure canners only.

In 1939 the company introduced its first saucepan-style pressure cooker under the trade name “Presto.” National Presto Industries began manufacturing electric appliances, including steam irons, electric skillets, and coffee makers, after World War II. The company was admitted to the New York Stock Exchange in 1969. As of 2024, the company remains headquartered in Eau Claire.
