Vector Marketing Corporation is the sole distributor of CUTCO, “the world’s finest cutlery™.” A high quality line of kitchen cutlery and accessories, CUTCO has been manufactured in Olean, New York, since 1949. It was introduced as a new product for Wear-Ever Aluminum, a subsidiary of Alcoa. Alcoa sought out the expertise of the finest cutlery manufacturer in the U.S. at the time, Case Cutlery in Bradford, Pa., to manufacture the new cutlery line.

Cucto Cutlery grew through its commitment to innovation in product development. Features such as the Wedge-Lock handle and the Double-D® recessed edge enhanced Cutco’s performance and provided a competition advantage in the marketplace. A management buy-out in 1982 strengthened the company’s focus and led to the purchase of Vector Marketing as a wholly owned marketing subsidiary in 1985. In the early 90’s, Cutco expanded its product line to include flatware and in 2000 they included garden tools, an ice cream scoop, and a Bird’s Beak Paring knife. Today, Cutco and Vector Marketing continue to grow, with annual revenues as high as $197 million.

CUTCO Cutlery’s history is steeped in tradition and founded on the fine craftsmanship of early settlers to Western New York and Northern Pennsylvania. The company, located along the Allegheny foothills in Olean, N.Y., can trace its roots back to skilled cutlers who settled in the area after immigrating from England’s famous Sheffield cutlery industry in the late 1800s. Thanks to the supportive community of Olean, NY, a dynamic sales model, and their well known quality products, Cutco and Vector Marketing continue to provide the United States with a “Made in the USA” product.
