Moulinex Subito Select coffee machine

Moulinex is an iconic French brand that has been a staple in kitchens for decades. Originally founded in 1932 by Jean Mantelet in Alençon, France, the brand became famous for inventing the 'Moulin-Légumes', a hand-cranked food mill. Following financial difficulties in the early 2000s, Moulinex was acquired by Groupe SEB, a leading global player in the small domestic appliance industry.

Today, while Moulinex remains deeply rooted in French culinary heritage, its manufacturing is distribution-heavy with production facilities managed by Groupe SEB across the globe. Small appliances like the Subito Select coffee machine shown here are primarily manufactured in China to leverage global supply chain efficiencies, though the brand's design and engineering oversight continue to reside in France.
