The Tomado company was founded in 1923 in Dordrecht by the Van der Togt brothers.
TOMADO stands for: van der Togt Massa Artikelen DOdrecht.
Originally it was a small company that manufactured simple wallpaper hooks from copper wire, enabling photos to be hung on wallpaper. After the Dutch Association of Housewives commissioned the company to develop a metal draining rack, it began to grow and a factory was soon opened in Zwijndrecht. After World War II the rebuilding period began in which Tomado products symbolized the modern household. They became very popular, also in Belgium, and virtually every household owned one or more Tomado products. Due to the brand’s popularity the company grew very quickly in the 1950s.

In the early 1970s the Tomado factories went bankrupt when a flood of cheap items from low-wage countries began. The company was taken over by the Belgian firm Bekaert in the late 1970s. After Bekaert’s bankruptcy in 1986 many rights passed to Metaltex Netherlands, part of the Swiss firm Metaltex.
