Company history - German Engineering
Matthias Otto discovered ceramic barbecues in the USA in 2008. As a passionate barbecue enthusiast, he was fascinated by their heat retention and versatility. They outperformed conventional smokers and Matthias was certain that his search for the perfect barbecue appliance was over.
As ceramic grills were hardly available in Europe and importing them from the USA was difficult, he decided to develop kamado grills himself. His passion led him so deeply into the subject that the trained textile engineer gave up his father's company to found MONOLITH.
The search for a production facility led him to Yixing, China. There, where ceramics have been made for thousands of years, he found the perfect know-how. Since then, the fusion of traditional ceramic craftsmanship and German engineering has resulted in high-temperature resistant, durable and versatile barbecues that combine tradition, perfection and innovation.
