BlueStar Celebrates 140th Anniversary

July 2, 2020

BlueStar is proud to celebrate a landmark anniversary – 140 years of high quality, custom manufacturing in Pennsylvania that has transformed home kitchens around America.

“Our company has weathered many storms over the last 140 years – from two great wars to the Great Depression, through recessions and even the 1918 pandemic,” said. Eliza Sheffield, president of BlueStar. While few companies reach such a historic milestone, we have an unwavering commitment to quality American manufacturing and are proud to be a strong contributor to our local economy. Throughout our history, our focus has been on serving our customers with high quality innovative products and first class customer service. We believe this sole focus has enabled us to stand the rest of time and will allow us to keep innovating in the decades to come.”

In honor of its milestone anniversary, BlueStar is launching a Limited Edition Platinum Series Range, featuring a custom Heritage Blue finish and commemorative star logo with special 140 year anniversary inscription. The Platinum Anniversary range – offered in sizes from 24-in. to 60-in. – will be available from July 1 to December 31, 2020 and provides an added value of up to $2,640 to consumers. The top-selling Platinum Range Series features searing 25,000 BTU burners, an interchangeable griddle and charbroiler system and an oversized PowR oven that fits commercial-size sheet pans.

Originally known as the PrizerPainter Stove and Heater Company, in its early days the company produced a full line of coal ranges, hot water heaters, furnaces and heating stoves, sold under many of the major brand names of the day. Many of those original models are still in service today across America. In the 1950s, Prizer also produced a full line of porcelain enamel cookware that was sold under the brand name Prizerware. Prizer continued to manufacture quality cooking ranges under the Prizer label, as well as for other highend brands, and took a major step forward with the introduction of its advanced twocoat/one-fire enameling system. In 2002, Prizer introduced handcrafted, highperformance ranges for the residential market under the BlueStar brand. Since then, BlueStar has continued to strengthen its reputation as the top manufacturer of high performance appliances for the serious home chef, adding professional-grade custom ventilation and premium refrigeration to its venerable line.

American Workmanship, American Quality

Today, BlueStar is proud to produce awardwinning home kitchen appliances including cooking equipment, kitchen hoods and premium refrigeration in its Pennsylvania factory. Using the finest, commercialgrade materials, each product is built by hand by skilled American workers. The handcrafted quality and performance of its appliances has caught the attention of cooking enthusiasts from home cooks and culinary enthusiasts to professional chefs such as Bobby Flay, Michael Symon, Paul Kahan and Suzanne Goin, among many others.

BlueStar® has been a trailblazer in color and customization innovation, offering its appliances in 1,000 color choices and 10 metal trim options, as well as any custom color. Many appliance manufacturers offer custom finishes, but none offer the breadth of BlueStar. BlueStar also has the ability to color match appliances to paint colors, or match paint colors to appliances for a seamless, integrated look within the kitchen space. An interactive web site tool, Build Your Own BlueStar, allows consumers to customize a new BlueStar range or refrigerator – from the intensity of the range’s burners to the color of the unit itself – before buying.

This 140th anniversary signals an exciting chapter in our storied history. We bring a distinguished legacy and a renewed commitment to deliver highquality, unique kitchen appliances that can be customized to the individual needs of our customers,” said Sheffield. We are proud to support our country’s long standing tradition of quality manufacturing. We are looking forward to another 140 years of American manufacturing.
