==History==
Vitamix is privately owned and operated by the Barnard family and began in 1921 when William Grover Barnard began traveling the country selling modern kitchen products. Cnet wrote that William Grover Barnard, the founder of Vita-Mix, released his company's first blender in 1937, but it wasn't until television came around that Vita-Mix was able to introduce blenders to Americans. In 1949, Vita-Mix ran what the company says was the first-ever infomercial—before long, blenders were flying off of the shelves, and Vita-Mix was rerunning the ad in markets across the country.〔("A muscle car for your kitchen" ), Vitamix, October 29, 2013〕
In 2005, Iron Chef America premiered on the Food Network, and Michael Symon brought his Vitamix with him in a suitcase to the show.〔("The Cult of Vitamix" ), BusinessWeek, December 19, 2013〕
In February 2006, Blendtec sued Vitamix Corporation for infringing its patents on Blendtec’s “Wild Side” jar design, which Vitamix had copied as its own MP and XP containers. The court concluded Vitamix had infringed Blendtec’s patents, and awarded Blendtec total damages of approximately $24 million, the largest patent-related penalty in the history of Utah.〔(Vitamix Infringement Case Summary )〕
