ABOUT kamado bono

KAMADO BONO is a Lithuanian-created brand of ceramic grills.

We consider its beginning to be in 2016 when we successfully sold our first grill, which was personally delivered to the buyer by our current CEO and company founder, Tomas, in his own car. Few people know that Kamado Bono started as a small family business run by two people and only later, thanks to hard work, knowledge, and creativity, did it grow.

Everyone in our team grills, and we do it every day. We are curious, we gather knowledge, we share it, and we creatively tell our endless grilling story, creating traditions. We are delighted that over time we have inspired more and more people to try their hand at grilling. Our activities encouraged them to come together for enjoyable and beneficial leisure time, and thus, in 2017, the Facebook community “Lithuania grilling & smoking” was born. Today, it unites 123,700 grilling enthusiasts and professionals and is one of the largest grilling communities on the Facebook platform globally. That was the beginning.

Today, Kamado Bono products travel to various countries around the world, chosen by curious people who value good, well-prepared food and who want to improve and become better versions of themselves as grillers. We are grateful to our customers for helping us refine the vision and mission of Kamado Bono. Our mission is to educate about grilling, encourage and assist when needed, simplify the grilling process, inspire new leisure activities, and show how to truly enjoy them. By being useful to others, we, as Kamado Bono, give meaning to our work and actively contribute to the cultivation and popularization of grilling culture worldwide. This is important to us.

We firmly believe that anyone, including you, can become a great griller. And we are here to make it easy for you.

Kamado Bono – easy to be perfect.

Kamado Bono – among the Leaders

We like the phrase, “There is always a higher level.” It accurately describes the direction Kamado Bono is moving in. We are demanding of ourselves, our products, services, and the quality of our customer service because we are focused on the customer and their positive experience with us. We are building a team of grilling professionals and already have much to be proud of.

The prestigious and globally renowned British daily newspaper focused on economics, business, and finance, “Financial Times,” recognized our excellent work results and included us in the annual list of the 1,000 fastest-growing companies in Europe in both 2022 and 2023. Kamado Bono has positioned itself among the leading and most successful companies in Europe.

The company “Okredo” Ltd. has repeatedly certified Kamado Bono as a Class A leader in its sector in the Baltic region. The certificate confirms the company’s long-term success in its sector, impeccable reputation in the domestic and international business environment, high creditworthiness of the company, and timely fulfillment of obligations.

All of this allows all of our clients, both in the B2B and B2C sectors, to feel safe and proud to work with genuine industry professionals.

KAMADO BONO AND ŽALGIRIS

This partnership began in 2020, and we have successfully continued it to this day. Kamado Bono supports the legendary “Žalgiris” basketball club by selling two licensed products. One of them is the exclusive green-colored Kamado Bono Žalgiris grill, which is marked with the “Žalgiris” club logos. And the “Žalgiris” grill tool set.

We value and are pleased with this friendship, having also received the support of the club’s fans – the Žalgiris grill was chosen as the favorite licensed product of the year in 2021. Together, we were also recognized by the basketball club itself, receiving an award from them in the same year for the best social media activation of a licensed product.

Kamado Bono team

Behind every brand are people. Behind Kamado Bono, there is a team united by a strong sense of responsibility, friendship, a desire for improvement, and a good sense of humor. Yes, our greatest value is people and close, healthy relationships with them: with the team, with clients, with colleagues.

We also have our weaknesses – we are dependent on grilling. Do you know in what impressive places we have grilled? In a yurt in Estonia, at the Dakar Rally camp, at the NATO headquarters in Brussels, in the middle of the desert in Dubai, at the prestigious Jack Daniel’s championship in the USA, at 1600 meters high in the snowy Alps in the KCBS W.E.S.T. grill competition, and this is not the end! Grilling is an integral part of our lives. It’s like our DNA.

Kamado Bono abroad

Currently, we operate in 30 countries around the world, with over 400 retail points, including countries such as the United Kingdom, Italy, Norway, UAE, Slovenia, Portugal, Venezuela, Sweden, Finland, Malta, Cyprus, Spain, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Ireland, and others. We are trusted by large retail chains and globally recognized online stores, such as Amazon.
When establishing business relationships abroad, it is extremely important to us that the partner’s and our team’s approach to work, clients, and values align. We believe that only in this way can we successfully work and achieve good team results. We adhere to this approach when communicating with the factories producing our products, administration, and representatives in foreign countries. Therefore, we visit each other, support one another, dine together, watch “Žalgiris” games, participate in exhibitions, and, of course, grill together. Kamado Bono is much more than just a grill. It is a community, a philosophy of grilling, and a way of life.
