In a major advance toward this goal, the Company recently acquired the famed Stiffel brand. Known through out the world as the leader in fine lamps, the Stiffel name will immediately give Salton a powerful presence in the home lighting market and an instant reputation for quality and design. To capitalize on this image, the Company will release the first Stiffel products in fiscal 2001 and will then broaden the line to include additional home decor accessories.

The leader in lamp design and quality for over 65 years, Stiffel brings you an updated and fashionable approach to lighting and home decor products. The pride and skill of our artisans is evident throughout the entire collection in the meticulus detailing, superb designs and fine quality. You will find a series of distinguished traditional and contemporary designs, each a reflection of the good taste inherent in the Stiffel name. Stiffel lamps are truly today's treasures, tomorrow's heirlooms.
