A CHANGE TO GOVERNANCE
Stanislas de Gramont joined Groupe SEB in 2018,
and rapidly became Thierry de La Tour d’Artaise’s
right-hand man. Together they leverage
their complementary skills, and take a fear-
less approach to dealing with crises. In an
increasingly fast-moving and more complex
world, the active tandem helps Groupe SEB
to look to the future with even greater resolve.
As Chairman Thierry de La Tour dArtaise is
fully involved in the Groups longterm con
siderations such as shareholders strategy
acquisitions and sustainable development
2000-2022,
A VIBRANT
GROUP
REVENUE QUADRUPLED
from €1,825m to a record
€8,059m in 2021
22 ACQUISITIONS
IN 22 YEARS
including Moulinex,
Supor and WMF
MORE THAN
20,000 EMPLOYEES
from 12,000 employees
in 2000 to more than
30,000 in 2022
This growth is mostly attributable to three ac-
quisitions that significantly changed the size
of the Group:
• By helping to rescue Moulinex in 2001,
Groupe SEB shot to the position of world
leader in Small Domestic Appliances.
• In 2007 Groupe SEB acquired Supor, making
it the first and only foreign business to date
to take control of a listed Chinese company.
• WMF, in 2016, marked Groupe SEB’s entry
onto the Professional market (equipment
and coffee machines for hotels) with a
strong position.
Thierry de La Tour d’Artaise has been award-
ed the Commander of the French National
Order of Merit medal and has received the
Légion d’Honneur.
AN INSPIRING JOURNEY
Thierry de La Tour d’Artaise started his
career in 1976 in the United States. He joined
Groupe SEB in 1994 as Chief Executive Officer,
then Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, of
CALOR SA. In 1999 he was appointed
Vice-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Groupe SEB, and Chairman and Chief Execu-
tive Officer in 2000.
Since 2000, Thierry de La Tour d’Artaise
has drawn on strong core values to make
Groupe SEB a global benchmark for Small
Domestic Appliances. One of these values is
innovation! This approach has paid off with the
development of a product offering that is both
global and local, alongside an external growth
strategy on all continents.
