Le Creuset

Le Creuset (in English: the crucible) was founded in 1925 by Belgian industrialists Armand Desaegher and Octave Aubecq in Fresnoy-le-Grand in France. They wanted to introduce cast-iron cookware with outstanding quality to the market. The first roasting pan was created and this little company became well-known in no time in their rise to the top. In 1988, Paul van Zuydam bought the company and has been the sole owner since then.

A world brand’s rise to the top

27 years after its foundation, the little company had turned into a successful business, distributing its cast-iron, enamelled cookware all across Europe. In 1957, the take-over of Les Hauts Fourneaux of Cousances, a major competitor, was successful. In 1970 and 1992, two other big names followed: Godin and the Screwpull corkscrew brand. By that time, the range not only included saucepans but also high-quality kitchen gadgets, one highlight being the silicon ladle. Since 1992, Le Creuset has set up new sites all over the world - in Germany, Scandinavia and Canada, for example.
