Tefal New Equinox TT520D toaster

Tefal is a renowned French brand that fundamentally changed the kitchenware industry by inventing non-stick cookware in the 1950s. The name 'Tefal' is a portmanteau of the words 'Teflon' and 'Aluminium'. Although the brand was founded in France as a revolutionary cookware company, it has since expanded its repertoire to include a wide variety of small kitchen appliances, such as the New Equinox toaster series.

Today, Tefal is part of Groupe SEB, a French global leader in small domestic equipment. While the brand maintains a strong European heritage and continues to design products in France, high-volume electrical appliances like this toaster are primarily manufactured in China to leverage global supply chain efficiencies. The ultimate owner, Groupe SEB, manages a massive portfolio of household names and remains headquartered in Écully, France.
