Tefal Ingenio cookware

Tefal is a renowned French manufacturer of cookware and small appliances, best known for pioneering the non-stick frying pan category in the 1950s. The name 'Tefal' is a portmanteau of the words 'Teflon' and 'Aluminum'. The specific product shown belongs to the Ingenio range, which is characterized by its space-saving design with detachable handles.

While many modern kitchen appliances are outsourced to various global locations, a significant portion of Tefal's premium cookware lines, including the one pictured, continues to be 'Made in France' at their historical production site in Rumilly. The brand is currently owned by Groupe SEB, a French multinational consortium that is a global leader in the small domestic equipment industry.
