In 1975, Tom Dickenson founded K-Tec Incorporated, the parent company of Blendtec. Tom's first product was a home use miller for grinding wheat. It combined a vacuum cleaner motor and a milling chamber. Although the market was limited, Blendtec was successful enough with its wheat miller to move into other household appliances.
Blendtec first started making blenders for the commercial market. These were used in bars, smoothie shops and restaurants. In the commercial line of Blendtec blenders you can find many innovative features, such as blender motors built into the countertop and programmable blenders.
Blendtec had such success in the commercial blender market that they decided to start making blenders for home use. Blendtec created its Fine Living series of products specifically for the home.
