"Mundial Inc., headquartered in Walpole, MA, is
the North American marketing, sales and distribution arm of Mundial
S.A., whose corporate offices are located in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Mundial S.A. develops and manufactures over 95% of its own products
including fully forged and stamped cutlery, sewing and craft
scissors, manicure implements, metal fasteners and motors.
The group and the Mundial trademark were established in Germany
in 1931 by Paul Zivi. This noted metallurgist, along with his team
of skilled engineers and designers, developed the most sophisticated
techniques for designing and manufacturing high quality cutlery.
This allegiance to quality has been maintained throughout the years
for all of Mundial's products. Today, every Mundial product is
produced under a rigorous quality control program that spans the
entire manufacturing process from the development of the steel to
the final polishing of the blade. Upon completion, every Mundial
product is individually tested to ensure sharpness, precision and
durability. As proof of its commitment to quality and customer
satisfaction, Mundial stands behind its products, backing every one
with a full Lifetime Guarantee against defects in materials,
construction and workmanship.
Mundial Inc. is currently among the leading North American
brands of cutlery and kitchen accessories sold to the restaurant and
institutional markets. It is also a leader in the retail and
industrial scissors/shears categories. With a growing business in
retail cutlery through gourmet, specialty and department stores,
Mundial products are squarely positioned as high quality and
upscale, but with a distinct value advantage. Thanks to
manufacturing efficiencies and more competitive costs of raw
materials (Brazil is one of the largest producers of steel in the
world) Mundial can position its top quality products at extremely
affordable retail prices.
Mundial combines Old World craftsmanship with modern technology
to produce a broad selection of products unmatched in the world for
strength, durability, beauty, comfort and value." -Mundial Knives
