LE CREUSET (1925-): 
Le Creuset began producing its first porcelain enamelled cast iron pots in 1925 from its foundry in Fresnoy le Grand, France. It is from this base that Le Creuset continues to produce its world famous cast iron pots. While Le Creuset has expanded the types of products it offers and has taken advantage of many technological advances since its beginnings in 1925, some things have not changed in the manufacture of Le Creuset's cast iron. Le Creuset has continued to use the hand-crafted techniques and the original process of forging and casting in the manufacturing of its cookware. This attention to its heritage is also characteristic of the design. The Cocotte, or French Oven, was one of the first cast iron items produced by Le Creuset and is still the most popular item sold in a range of bright retro colours, with Volcanic (orange) the company's trademark.
The 1990s saw widening in the production range at Le Creuset. New ranges were introduced with new materials used. They included aluminium, stainless steel, silicone, stoneware and textiles. Not all Le Creuset products are made in France. All the cast iron products are still made at the original foundry in Northern France. However, stainless steel products are made in Portugal, the stoneware in Thailand and the accessories in China. Items are marked as France because the company is French but Made in France is restricted to their cast iron products. Le Creuset is now sold in more than 60 countries around the world including the US, UK, Japan and Australia.
