Krampouz Plancha or Grill

Brand History and Mastery of Heat

Krampouz is a renowned French manufacturer that originated in Brittany in 1949. The brand's name translates to "pancake" in Breton, reflecting its initial specialization in crepe makers. Over decades, the company leveraged its expertise in precision heating and cast iron technology to expand into professional and residential outdoor cooking equipment, including planchas and grills like the one pictured.

Manufacturing and Heritage

The brand is celebrated for its commitment to high-quality French manufacturing. Its products are primarily produced in Brittany, France, maintaining a strong link to its regional roots. The durability and design of its stainless steel bodies and heavy-duty cooking surfaces have made it a favorite among both professional chefs and outdoor cooking enthusiasts worldwide.

Ownership Evolution

In 2019, Krampouz was acquired by the SEB Group (Groupe SEB), a multi-billion dollar French conglomerate and a world leader in small domestic equipment. This acquisition provided Krampouz with the global distribution network and resources needed to enhance its international presence while keeping its specialized production facilities in France.
