Dacor (kitchen appliances)

Dacor is an American manufacturer of luxury kitchen appliances. Founded in 1965 as Distinctive Appliance Corporation, the company initially focused on specialty cooking products. Over the years, Dacor expanded its product line to include a full range of appliances such as ranges, ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, and ventilation systems. Dacor distinguishes itself through its emphasis on innovation, design, and high-end materials.

Dacor appliances are often characterized by their sleek, modern aesthetics and incorporation of advanced technology, including smart features and connectivity. The company targets a premium market segment seeking high performance and sophisticated design in their kitchen appliances.

In 2016, Dacor was acquired by Samsung Electronics.

While benefiting from Samsung's resources and technology, Dacor aims to preserve its brand identity and commitment to high-quality craftsmanship.
