RENAISSANCE COOKING SYSTEMS

It all began in June of 1949 when Ralph Cunningham, his wife Annie and one of their daughters, Jeanette drove to Austin, Texas so Ralph could take the plumbers exam and acquire his license. Thus, Cunningham Plumbing Company was born.

These were hard times in the U.S., not long after the great depression, folks worked long days for little pay. The company was successful in terms of putting food on the table for Ralph and Annie and their seven children. Four of the sons, Roy, Joe, Lynn and Fred were active part-time in the family business while also serving in the military. Ralph believed in hard work, honesty, and treating others as he wanted to be treated. He taught his family the same principles. Click here to view the Renaissance Cooking Systems Collection!
