Zéfal bicycle accessories

Zéfal is a pioneering French brand specializing in bicycle accessories, with a rich history dating back to 1880. Originally founded by Etienne Sclaverand, the company is famously credited with inventing the Presta valve, which remains a global standard in the cycling industry. The brand name Zéfal was later established, and the company eventually merged with the Poutrait-Morin group.

Today, Zéfal continues to be a family-owned enterprise based in Jargeau, France. While they maintain significant on-site manufacturing facilities in Loiret to ensure high quality and innovation, certain components or product lines may be sourced or assembled internationally to meet global demand. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the French parent company, Poutrait-Morin, maintaining its status as a cornerstone of French industrial heritage in the sporting goods sector.
