Innovation driven by passion
Founded in 2000 by award-winning Gas Engineer and entrepreneur, Dante Cantal, Twin Eagles quickly grew to become a market leader in the Outdoor Grill Market. From the beginning, Dante set out to differentiate his line of Outdoor Grills through an combination of commercial performance and residential luxury.
THE ART OF GRILLING
Moving to America
Born and educated in the Philippines, Dante's first job was designing residential kitchen appliances for White-Westinghouse and General Electric. In 1982, Dante moved his young family to the United States and took a job at US Range.
HONING THE CRAFT
During his time at US Range, Dante learned the importance of performance and reliability. Commercial appliance failure is not just an inconvenience, it can lead to a loss of revenue! Dante never forgot this important consideration.
Manufacturing excellence
In 1996, Dante took a major step in his career, co-founding Lynx Grills with Dale Seidan and Joe Stombauch. The luxury grill market was just heating up.
THE FOUNDING OF TWIN EAGLES
After establishing himself as a leading manufacturer of high-end Gas Grills, Dante branched out on his own, founding Twin Eagles. Named after his recently born twin children, and the majestic Eagle, the national bird of the Philippines.
Success through hardship
During the economic downturn of 2008, while other manufacturers were cutting costs and moving production overseas, Dante invested in the company. Leading Twin Eagles to new heights and gaining market share, growing 30% over the previous year.
Introduction of Delta Heat Line
Responding the needs and requests of customers, Dante designed and launched a value-premium line of Gas Grills. Delta Heat provided customers with greater latitude to meet consumer demand.
TWIN EAGLES REIMAGINED
The third generation of Twin Eagles grills was brought to market in 2017. In addition to an elevated Twin Eagles line of product, Dante unleashed the super-luxury Eagle One Gas Grill and Wood-Fired Pellet Grill featuring luxury controls and a smartphone app for recipes and temperature management.
Twin Eagles | Dometic
In 2021, Dometic, a Stockholm-based global outdoor living brand, acquired Twin Eagles. Building on the legacy Dante created, the Twin Eagles brand lives on as Twin Eagles Dometic, offering luxury outdoor cooking solutions engineered for uncompromising performance and quality.
