Tefal ironing board

The ironing board pictured belongs to the Tefal brand, a name synonymous with household convenience and innovation. Originally founded in France in 1956, the company rose to fame by introducing the first non-stick frying pan, revolutionizing the kitchenware industry. The name itself is a portmanteau of Teflon and Aluminum.

Today, Tefal is part of Groupe SEB, a French multinational conglomerate that is a world leader in small domestic equipment. While the brand maintains strong French heritage and some premium lines are still manufactured in France, high-volume household accessories like ironing boards are typically produced in global manufacturing hubs, primarily China, to serve international markets. The ultimate owner, Groupe SEB, manages a massive portfolio of household names from its headquarters in Écully, France, ensuring consistent quality and design standards across its global supply chain.
