Tefal

Tefal S.A.S a portmanteau of TEFlon and ALuminum is a French cookware and small appliance manufacturer, owned by Groupe SEB (a global manufacturer of cookware) since 1968. The company is known for creating the non-stick cookware category and for offering frying equipment with a low requirement of fat or oils.

In the United States, Tefal is marketed as T-fal. This is to comply with DuPont's objection that the name "Tefal" was too close to DuPont's trademark "Teflon". The T-fal brand is also used in Canada and Japan.

Besides cookware and cooking appliances, the Tefal brand is also applied to home appliances such as steam irons and vacuum cleaners.
