The Alligator is the brainchild of innovator Benny Engdahl, who got tired of chopping onions when he was making his favorite dish – Öland dumplings filled with pork. They require large quantities of chopped potatoes,  and onions, and everyone knows that chopping onions is a tearful affair, but it need not be any longer.

Benny Engdahl contacted his friend, graduate engineer Nikola Knezevic, who became responsible for the technical development of the product. Many prototypes were needed to find the right design, the right materials, and, in particular, the right steel for the cutters before the final product was ready for commercial launch. The Swedish patent was granted in October 2001.

The product received a great deal of attention right from the start and quickly became a success, with sharply rising sales and many satisfied customers.

In 2001 we invented a kitchen tool with the purpose of making food preparation quicker and safer. Today our onion and vegetable choppers are known worldwide.

The brand stands for innovation and outstanding quality. Our products are unique and protected by both function and design patents. The Alligator has an excellent reputation around the world thanks to the great service we proudly provide. Today you can buy our products in over 30 countries. When you buy an Alligator you invest in an everyday tool that will save time and make cooking more fun.
