Ownership
Waterford Wedgwood bought it in 1999 for $110M and sold it to Groupe SEB in 2004 for $250M to service its own debt.
Why Watchlist
Bonded lines still made in Canonsburg, but lids, handles, nonstick, and accessory lines are China-made. Settled a $4M class action in 2023 over dishwasher-safe claims that left razor-sharp rims, and quietly dropped the claim. SEB announced 2,100 job cuts in early 2026.
Reversibility
What would change our verdict
Evidence the bonded lines leave Canonsburg, or further quality litigation.
