Corporate History
In 1881, in Bellaire, Ohio, W. J. Tappan sold his wood- and coal-burning stoves door-to-door. During the World Wars, the Tappan company supplied cooking equipment to the U.S. armed forces. In 1955, Tappan introduced the microwave and revolutionized cooking. Five years later the company invented electronic ignition for stoves. Tappan became SJC Corp in 1979. In 1998, the Nordyne group, under license from White-Westinghouse, revived the Tappan name.

Promoted as easy to maintain, these units are finished with thermosetting powder coat paint for resistance to scratches as well as durability.
