Our History
The Name and Face
George Foreman initially retired from his illustrious boxing career
in 1977. Ten years later he staged an unexpected comeback
going on to regain the heavyweight title in 1994, 20 years after
he had lost it to Muhammad Ali.
Foreman’s inspiring comeback made him a natural fit for Salton
in 1994 as they looked to brand their new contact grills, called
the Lean, Mean, Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine.
In 2007, Applica acquired Salton and with it, the
George Foreman® brand.
Applica and George Foreman Cooking continue to revolutionize the George Foreman Grill line-up with an exciting variety of products from outdoor, fat-reducing grills to blenders and broilers.
With over 100 million grills sold worldwide, there's never been abetter time to discover your passion for flavorful, healthy food bycooking with George.
