Tefal Loft Collection Electric Kettle

Tefal is a renowned French manufacturer of cookware and small appliances, founded in 1956 by Marc Grégoire. The brand's name is a portmanteau of the words TEFlon and ALuminium, representing its pioneering role in creating non-stick cookware. Over the decades, Tefal expanded its portfolio to include a wide range of small household appliances, such as the Loft Collection electric kettle featured here, which combines retro aesthetics with modern functionality.

While the brand maintains deep roots in French design and innovation, its manufacturing operations are global. Most of Tefal's small electrical appliances, including kettles and toasters, are manufactured in China to leverage large-scale production capabilities. However, a significant portion of its premium cookware and specialized ironing systems continues to be produced at its flagship factories in Rumilly and Mayenne, France. Since 1968, Tefal has been a core brand under Groupe SEB, a world leader in small domestic equipment headquartered in Écully, France. This ownership ensures that the brand remains under French corporate stewardship while operating as a global powerhouse in the kitchenware market.
