As the only production cookware company made and owned in Australia, we strive to support local industry while manufacturing healthy, sustainable, multi-generational cookware.
We frequently launch new products to our Kickstarter as this platform is perfect for fostering our community spirit and values. Crowdfunding funds the tooling and first production run for each range, keeps Australian manufacturing financially viable, and rewards early backers with the lowest price and rarest edition a product will ever have.
Many of our products have gone through a Kickstarter campaign first. Since our first launch in 2014, we've funded and delivered over 64 projects through Kickstarter — and utilising crowdfunding is what allows us to offer backers the best possible price, as a thank-you for their early support.
What Is Kickstarter?
Kickstarter is a community-driven space designed to support creative projects. Instead of a typical online store, backers pledge their support to help bring innovative ideas to life. In return, project creators offer unique rewards to show their appreciation below the ultimate retail price.
For Solidteknics supporters, Kickstarter is where you become an integral part of our creative process. Your backing is not just a pledge but a crucial step in turning our ideas into reality. As a token of our gratitude, we offer limited and stamped FIRST edition pieces as rewards — special heirloom pieces designed to be cherished for generations.
Why does an established brand like Solidteknics use Kickstarter?
We believe in doing things differently. Our company is built closely on and with our community, and Kickstarter allows us to connect directly with our supporters.
Every product on our online store has gone through the Kickstarter crowdfunding experience. Since our first launch in 2014, we've successfully funded over 60 projects through Kickstarter, delivering on each and every one. This track record is a testament to our commitment and the trust our backers have placed in us.
Utilising crowdfunding keeps our manufacturing operations in Australia viable, allowing us to offer our backers the best possible prices as a thank-you for their unwavering support.
Why support us on Kickstarter?
Back innovation
Kickstarter showcases product innovations that can reset industry standards. As a growing local business, we are committed to launching world-class cooking innovations. We are proud to be the world’s leading manufacturer of healthy, sustainable, multigenerational cookware. When you pledge your support for us on Kickstarter you'll get exclusive insights into our creative process and help us bring real, lasting cookware to life. Our cookware will also stay in your family for generations and become treasured heirlooms.
Support Australian-made and Owned
Kickstarter lets you be part of the magic and gives you the ability to support Australian-made and owned. We know we’re up against big, offshore manufacturers that mass-produce cookware, but your support is invaluable. It helps us continue on our mission to build a healthy and sustainable future: free from toxic, synthetic coatings and heavy metals.
We break away from the status quo—we want to highlight the importance of healthy, Australian-made cookware and support local jobs.
Beat plastic
Our cookware is an investment for the future. You'll also be helping us fight against non-sustainable cookware that leaches synthetic plastic coatings into our bodies and the environment. Cheap cookware degrades quickly and, therefore, actually ends up costing us more in the long run. Throwaway pans and cooking tools are added to landfills every year. In comparison, we've made a commitment to manufacturing cookware that's designed to last for generations.
Enjoy reward prices
When backers pledge their support to help bring our innovative ideas to life, we offer them unique rewards at the lowest possible price to show our appreciation. Backing a campaign means taking advantage of exclusive launch pricing before our cookware hits the shelves! We also frequently offer limited and stamped FIRST edition pieces as rewards.
