"BIA Cordon Bleu is a US-based kitchenware and housewares wholesaler established in San Carlos, California in 1952 by French and Belgian expats. These entrepreneurs wanted to offer the American market innovative kitchenware that they knew was only available in Europe at the time. The French trademark for “BIA Cordon Bleu France” is registered to “Belgian Importers Association, Inc.” a US company registered in Burlingame, California in 1969. BIA initially appears to have focused on importing European kitchenware brands, but in 2000 it was purchased and relocated to Galt, a town near Sacramento, and shifted to manufacturing and importing high-quality porcelain and stoneware products from Asia."
