Home to numerous direct sales companies for decades, Texas was a clear winner when the brand was choosing a new headquarters location. According to Thermomix's CEO for the U.S. and Canada, Fredrik Lundqvist, "We greatly admire the state's deep history with building connection and culture through food, and for the way Texas supports entrepreneurs and innovative businesses such as Thermomix. After being here in Austin these past few days, we are excited to root ourselves in the rich tapestry of Texas, fuel our long-term future, and heat up an appreciation for the world of home cooking in new and exciting ways."

Thermomix's parent company, German-based Vorwerk, now in its 140th year of operation, reported $4.1 billion in global sales in 2022, with U.S. sales of Thermomix reaching over $30 million, up 28.7% over the prior year. These numbers make Vorwerk the fifth largest direct-selling company in the world and nearly every dollar of the booming global business came from the company's unique direct sales model, which prioritizes in-home tactile cooking experiences hosted by Consultants, over e-commerce.
