Beginnings
Our story begins with Edward Katzingerâs commercial baking pan company, founded in Chicago in 1888. Almost a century later in 1972, the Bakerâs Secret⢠brand was introduced and would flourish into a nationwide household name.
With well over a century of heritage behind us, Bakerâs Secret⢠continues to provide accessible, high-quality bakeware for bakers of all levels.
Our Heritage
In 1881, Edward Katzinger immigrated from Austria to New York City as an 18 year-old. He started off as a âtinnerâ in a factory before moving out to begin his own venture, eventually landing in Chicago where he focused on baking tin production for the commercial baking industry.
Before the turn of the 20th century, baking pans were typically produced at various sizes, made-to-order for clients, with no standardized sizing or specifications. But with the help of Katzingerâs son, Arthur, the business was pumping out up to 70,000 pans a day, all stock sized, ready to hit the mass market.
It was this revolutionary shift that spearheaded the amazing growth of the Katzinger business, and while acquiring and creating various brands over the 20th century, in 1972, Bakerâs Secret⢠would be born.
