The founder of the company, john Ulam, was awarded more than a 50 United States patents, specifically related to bonded metals and was instrumental in the United States mint's conversion from solid silver coins to the bonded layered metals we use today.

The various combinations of clad metals proved to be ideal or cookware applications and resulted in performance that greatly exceeded that of non bonded cookware. This was a process that was perfected and which all clad metals was established in 1971.
