The Tomado company was founded in 1923 in Dordrecht by the Van der Togt brothers. TOMADO stands for: van der TOgt Massa Articles DOdrecht. Originally it was a small company that manufactured simple brass-wire wallpaper hooks, which could be used to hang pictures on wallpaper. After the Dutch Housewives Association commissioned the company to develop a metal drainer, it began to grow and a factory was soon opened in Zwijndrecht. After World War II, during the reconstruction period, Tomado products came to symbolize the modern household. They became very popular, also in Belgium, and almost every household owned one or more Tomado products. Because of the brand’s popularity, the company grew rapidly in the 1950s.
