Who Owns ZLINE?

ZLINE began in a small Ohio office in the mid-2000s when Andrew Zuro set out to make professional-look kitchen products at accessible prices. The founding story, which the company tells frequently, starts with Zuro's own home remodel and the discovery that high-end appliances carried unreachable price tags. The first product focus was premium range hoods, including custom-style copper and wood designs that established the brand's design-forward identity.

Through the 2010s, ZLINE expanded from hoods into a full kitchen suite: pro-style gas and dual-fuel ranges, rangetops, wall ovens, dishwashers, microwaves, and refrigeration, plus a growing bath fixture line of faucets, sinks, and vanities. The company moved its headquarters to Reno, Nevada, in the Sierra Nevada region, which now features heavily in its brand imagery.

Distribution scaled through a dual model: ZLINE sells through appliance dealers and its own e-commerce operation, The Range Hood Store, giving it unusual direct-to-consumer reach for an appliance brand. Tennessee became its logistics base, with a distribution headquarters established in Bruceton in Carroll County.

Recent growth has been substantial. In 2025, the state of Tennessee announced ZLINE would expand in Gibson County, acquiring the former Dura Automotive Systems building in Milan to add customer service and logistics capacity, creating 50 new jobs and pushing the company's Northwest Tennessee employment past 100. The company now counts approximately 250 US employees and estimated revenue in the $100 million to $150 million range, marking its transition from upstart to established mid-size appliance brand.
