JennAir was founded in 1947 by Louis J. Jenn, in Indianapolis, Indiana. Originally named Jenn-Air Products Company, the business was initially focused on the manufacture and marketing of industrial fans to be used in a number of commercial and industrial settings. In 1961, the company integrated one of their famous fans into a cooktop range, thus inventing the first self-ventilated downdraft range. The downdraft range was a huge innovation in luxury kitchen design, as it eliminated the need for an overhead ventilation hood.
Throughout the years, the JennAir company extended its reach deeper into the appliance market with the addition of refrigerators, dishwashers, microwaves, and other small kitchen appliances to its vast array of premium products. Each of their appliance categories have a seemingly limitless number of design and cooking options. JennAir also has an entire range of luxury appliances specifically designed for small-scale urban environments.
JennAir continues to be a leader in creating sleek, upscale kitchens. Believing that appliances are functional art, JennAir curates their features, functions and styles to meet your design aesthetic, while paying great attention to each detail, and catering to the discerning at-home chef’s cooking needs. Today, JennAir remains on the cutting edge of innovative appliance technology, with top-tier mobile integration, undercounter controls, onscreen food assistance, touch sensitive controls, and so much more. JennAir appliances bring the professional cooking experience into the home, are easy to maintain, and are built to last.
Eventually, the Jenn-Air Products Company name was changed simply to Jenn-Air. In 1982 Jenn-Air was purchased by Maytag Corporation, which was then purchased by Whirlpool Corporation in 2006. Most recently, in 2018 the name was changed again to simply: JennAir.
