# Lifetime Brands

> Lifetime Brands is a publicly traded designer, developer and marketer of kitchenware, tableware and home products. Rather than betting on one label, it operates a broad portfolio of owned and licensed names - including Farberware, KitchenAid tools, Mikasa, S'well, Taylor and Pfaltzgraff - and sells through major retailers, warehouse clubs, specialty stores, ecommerce and its own brand sites. Its advantage is the combination of consumer product design, brand management and a distribution network capable of serving many categories and price points.
