Le Creuset salt and pepper mill

Le Creuset is a premium French cookware manufacturer founded in 1925 in Fresnoy-le-Grand, France. While the brand is world-renowned for its enameled cast iron cookware, which is still produced at the original foundry in France, its accessory lines—including these iconic salt and pepper mills—are typically manufactured in China to the brand's specifications.

The brand remained a family business until it was acquired by British businessman Paul Van Zuydam in 1988. Under his ownership, Le Creuset expanded its product offerings significantly and established a global presence. Today, the company remains under the private ownership of Paul Van Zuydam, maintaining its headquarters in Fresnoy-le-Grand while operating subsidiaries and retail stores across the globe, including a strong presence in the Brazilian market.
