 PROFILE
No need to ask how the meat will be prepared at Weber-Stephen's company parties. Weber-Stephen Products Co. is a leading maker of barbecue grills, including portable, built-in, kettle, and gas grills (it is the nation's top maker of charcoal grills). Brands include Smokey Joe, One-Touch, Genesis, Go-Anywhere, and Summit. It also makes grilling accessories such as utensils and cookbooks. Weber-Stephen's products are sold at mass merchandisers and home improvement stores, among other retail outlets. Founded in 1951 by George Stephen, the company is owned by the Stephen family.
