K-TEC blends innovation, quality
Dickson was working on his food storage one weekend when he spilled some wheat on his garage floor. He vacuumed it up. That's when his engineering instincts kicked in, and he opened the vacuum bag to check out what the trip through the machine had done to the wheat.
Turns out, the wheat had become coarse flour, and Dickson had the idea that became the Kitchen Mill, a legendary home grain mill that is the foundation of Dickson's company, Orem-based K-TEC.
But if the mill is the company's foundation, Dickson's blenders are its summit. Used at restaurants and juice bars around the world, the top-quality blender — accented by high-tech ice dispensers and peristaltic pumps — has made that part of the business, Blendtec, the company's best-known line.
Dickson thinks of his company as a technology firm, and the company's goal is to sell not just small refinements of existing products, but breakthroughs that have a real impact on the health, nutrition and satisfaction of K-TEC's customers.
