Groupe SEB today announced the acquisition of FORGE ADOUR, an expert manufacturer of enamelled cast-iron planchas.
Established in 1978, FORGE ADOUR is a French family-owned company that specializes in the design, manufacture and marketing of planchas, accessories and outdoor kitchens for the Consumer market.
Headquartered in Bayonne (Pyrénées-Atlantiques department, southwest France), in addition to its core business, the company mostly comprises a design unit, product design team and strategic sales force, coupled with logistics and after-sales specialists. FORGE ADOUR also leverages the expertise of its factory in Villafranca de los Barros, Spain, the birthplace of the family who founded the company.
With a presence mainly in France, the iconic Basque brand which this year celebrates its 45th anniversary, has also gained a foothold in Spain, Germany, Switzerland and the Benelux region in recent years, opening up opportunities for business development.
We are delighted with the acquisition of FORGE ADOUR which enables Groupe SEB to become a European leader in planchas, as well as to expand its range of outdoor products and access new distribution channels. A must-have summer cooking appliance, planchas represent a buoyant market. Moreover, FORGE ADOUR products will complement the stainless steel plancha offer of the Breton brand, KRAMPOUZ, which Groupe SEB acquired in 2019. We look forward to welcoming the FORGE ADOUR team and pursue our ambition in the Consumer sector together.
