Tefal, more than 70 years of French expertise
Making a Tefal frying pan is a clever combination of technology and know-how. For our items suitable for all types of hobs, including induction, a stainless steel grid is fixed onto a rough aluminium disc (mounting) before being given its characteristic shape with raised sides (pressing). Cropping makes its edges smooth and safe.
Production stages of our Unlimited range
Our pans are coated six times, then oven-hardened. After checking that the base of the pan is absolutely flat, handles are added. After thorough quality control, each pan is packed, ready for your home or the shops! Our utensils are essential items in your home, so you can cook delicious meals every day, without added fat.
Lifecycle and Recycling
From their design to their use in our kitchens, our utensils go through some crucial stages combining know-how, innovation and quality requirements. Tefal encourages responsible recycling so that another phase begins when their life comes to an end.

Tefal pans, with you every day
We believe that innovation should make daily life simpler, sleeker and more pleasant. Innovating means following how our lifestyles evolve. Our inventions are designed to be useful. Our watchwords are saving time and space, controlled cooking and user-friendly kitchens.
Innovation
Innovation is at the heart of what we do: around 50 people work in Rumilly, researching and developing new solutions.
Emblematic
Our Thermo-Signal® technology is emblematic: the heat indicator at the centre of the pan means you start cooking at the best possible time. Our products' versatility (like Ingenio®, which can go in the oven, fridge or on the table) is another example of innovation making every day easier.
Product Traceability
All the materials we use are subject to a strict traceability, so that you know exactly what you're buying from the outset. By implementing product traceability measures, Tefal reinforces its dedication to producing high-quality, sustainable and trustworthy products, ensuring both consumer safety and environmental responsibility.
Our Mission: Total Traceability
We monitor our whole production process and can retrace everything. We believe it is very important that you should know where the products you buy come from.
The code on our pans traces their lifecycle
Each pan is marked with a unique code, allowing us to trace its entire lifecycle.
