Moulinex electric kettle

Moulinex is an iconic French household appliance brand that has become synonymous with small kitchen electronics. Founded in 1937 by Jean Mantelet in Alençon, France, the company initially gained fame for its vegetable mill before revolutionizing the kitchen with motorized mixers and blenders.

Today, the brand is owned by Groupe SEB, a French multinational conglomerate that acquired the Moulinex name in 2001 following the company's financial restructuring. Under Groupe SEB's ownership, Moulinex products are part of a global portfolio that includes brands like Tefal, Rowenta, and Krups. While the brand's heritage and design philosophy remain rooted in France, its high-volume manufacturing for appliances like electric kettles is largely conducted in China to maintain global competitiveness, though some specialized production still occurs in Europe.
