Dacor delivers innovative technology backed by a pioneering heritage.
By Dianne M. Pogoda
Dacor appliances continues its rich history of beautiful, luxurious design on the leading edge of connected technology and lifestyle enhancement in the residential kitchen.
The company, now a part of the Samsung Electronics America family, was founded by a family of innovators in 1965 in Southern California. It delivers innovative technology that seamlessly connects premium products to improve everyday life. Intuitive, human-forward technology is integrated throughout all Dacor appliances. The company’s SmartThings connected platform provides an exceptional foundation for the brand’s ever-growing ecosystem, and spans product categories in gas and induction cooktops, ovens, ranges and refrigeration columns.
Dacor seamlessly blends professional-grade performance with its premium design aesthetic, luxury materials and technology, well-suited to any kitchen design, transitional or contemporary.
Dacor created the first complete kitchen ventilation system and indoor electric BBQ. The revolutionary concept would forever change kitchen functionality. The company has since evolved into a comprehensive luxury kitchen appliance brand, continually pushing the boundaries of design, technology and innovative and differentiated product for the modern kitchen and the modern lifestyle.
“Dacor offers design versatility through unique styles and aesthetics without compromising technology or performance,” said Scott Davies, Director of Demand Generation, HA-Dacor. “We deliver true customer benefits through our technology — from 7-inch, fully interactive touch screens with guided cooking to 3D interior lighting in the refrigerator, the attention to detail can not only be seen, but can be felt as well. This truly defines the Dacor brand.”

Now headquartered in Ridgefield Park, N.J., Dacor’s key markets include the New York Tri-State area, California, Texas, Arizona and the Midwest. The company has manufacturing and sourcing operations around the globe, enabling it to offer a wide selections of product, materials and finishes.
“We have a global manufacturing network that allows us to leverage the best practices and techniques available worldwide,” Davies noted. “For example, our graphite coloration on our ranges is done by a process called DLC, and we are the only appliance manufacturer that has a facility dedicated to this in Asia.”
He added that the company has a commitment to sustainability and the environment in product development as well as in use of materials. As an example, it uses the refrigerant R600a, which is efficient and has a minimal impact on the environment.
Samsung acquired Dacor in 2016, lending its global scale and financial clout to help build the brand and strengthen its own position in the luxury market. Samsung has a strong foundation in corporate responsibility, giving back to the community and sustainable business practices.
Going forward, Dacor continues to develop its appliances to ensure a deep and broad aesthetic that enable customers to design their dream kitchen layout and style. “It’s critical that we offer solutions for the customers’ design vision,” Davies said. “Dacor will continue push the status quo of the luxury market. As an industry leader, we continue to evolve the segment to ensure we offer our customers a distinctive brand which makes their lives simpler and easier.”
