Our journey began in April 1937, when my grandparents, William and Helen Bergstrom, answered a newspaper ad seeking distributors. Armed with a simple yet powerful goal—to provide top-tier appliances to their community—they laid the foundation for what would become a family legacy of quality and trust. What started as a small venture soon grew, thanks to their relentless commitment to excellence.
Fast forward to the next generation, when their sons, Richard and Robert Bergstrom, took the reins and expanded the business under the name VAH Marketing. For 47 years, they pushed the boundaries, introducing a wider range of premium appliances and cementing our reputation as a go-to for high-end, innovative kitchen solutions.
Today, I, Erik Bergstrom, proudly carry the torch as the third generation of the Bergstrom family. In 2000, I founded KitchenFoundry to bring our expertise and commitment to your doorstep in a more personal, direct way.
