The company’s brands include Breville, Kambrook and Ronson (outside of North America). In the UK and Europe the company, firming as Sage Appliances, goes to market as the Sage brand (because the name Breville is taken by the unrelated Jarden company in the UK) and as the Breville brand in the rest of the world.

My mum offered me a fancy new sandwich toaster. I said I’d stick with the one I had. It was a case of ‘better the Breville you know’.
