Tefal is a French cookware and small appliance manufacturer, owned by Groupe SEB (a global manufacturer of cookware) since 1968.[3] Its name is a portmanteau of the words TEFlon and ALuminium.[4] The company is known for creating the non-stick cookware category[4] and for offering frying equipment with a low requirement of fat or oils.[5]
In the United States, Tefal is marketed as T-fal.[6] This is to comply with DuPont's objection that the name "Tefal" was too close to DuPont's trademark "Teflon".[1] The T-fal brand is also used in Canada[7] and Japan.[8][9]
Besides cookware and cooking appliances, the Tefal brand is also applied to home appliances such as steam irons[10] and vacuum cleaners.[11]
