The story of Groupe SEB began in 1857 with
Antoine Lescure, in Selongey, France. Beginning
as a tinware company specializing in buckets
and watering cans. It took a major stride
forward in 1953 when it launched the pressure
cooker. This gave the company, thereafter
called Société d’Emboutissage de Bourgogne, a
new national dimension
The history of the Group takes shape through
successive phases of acquisitions over the last
40 years, these have enabled Groupe SEB to
diversify its activities and expand internationally.
With operations in almost 150 countries, Groupe
SEB is today the world leader in Small
Household Equipment.
