Innovation to Delight Grillers Since 1952

In 1952, George Stephen took his love for barbecue - along with his passion for the perfect grilled steak - and combined them with a revolutionary grill design inspired by the shape of a buoy. This gave birth to widespread enthusiasm for the kettle grill and the start of what would become the world’s leading barbecue brand.

Our History
Weber welder at our factory in Chicago, IL - Charcoal & Gas Grills Made In USA
Proudly Made in the Chicago Suburbs

Today, we stay true to our Midwestern roots by continuing to manufacture grills in Huntley, Illinois, using only the best U.S. and globally sourced components. All of our grills are designed and engineered by a team at our Chicago headquarters, and every day our wide assortment of grills roll off the manufacturing lines at our plant in Huntley, Illinois. This ensures our grills are built with the durability, workmanship and quality that matter to grillers. More importantly, it allows us to support our local community by keeping jobs here in Illinois — where it all started at Weber.
