Heritage & History
Tom Dickson founded Blendtec — originally called K-Tec — in Orem, Utah in 1975, initially focused on building flour mills and commercial food equipment. The company moved into commercial blenders for restaurants and juice bars, where Dickson's engineering obsession with motor power and blade efficiency produced machines capable of blending almost anything. In 2006, Blendtec's marketing director discovered Tom in the warehouse blending pieces of wood to test motor durability and recognized an opportunity. The resulting "Will It Blend?" YouTube series — featuring Tom blending iPhones, golf balls, and other absurd items — became one of the internet's first viral marketing phenomena.
The campaign worked because the premise was genuine: Blendtec machines really could blend those things. The viral videos drove consumer awareness that transformed Blendtec from a commercial equipment supplier into a household brand competing directly with Vitamix for the high-performance home blender market.
Assembled in Orem, Utah
All Blendtec blenders are designed and assembled at the company's facility in Orem, Utah, in the Wasatch Front urban corridor south of Salt Lake City. The Orem operation handles engineering, motor assembly, jar production, quality testing, and the iterative product development that has produced multiple generations of commercial and consumer blender platforms. Blendtec's engineers design proprietary blunt-edge blade systems and high-torque motors that are assembled and tested in Utah before shipping.
The company's commercial blenders are standard equipment in thousands of coffee shops, smoothie bars, and restaurant kitchens across the United States and internationally. Blendtec holds numerous patents on blending technology developed at the Orem facility, reflecting a genuine engineering culture rooted in Tom Dickson's original goal of building the most powerful food equipment possible. The Utah manufacturing base has remained central to the brand's identity through its transformation from industrial supplier to consumer electronics company.
