SEB S.A.
 PROFILE
Domestic life would be much stickier without SEB. Known internationally for its Rowenta and T-Fal (or Tefal) brands, SEB makes and markets household goods (nonstick cookware), cooking appliances (steam cookers, fryers, toasters, coffeemakers, and grills), home appliances (vacuums and fans), and personal care items (hair dryers, scales, and electric toothbrushes). It also markets the Calor and Seb brands in France and Belgium and Arno in Brazil. SEB is the world's #1 maker of electric irons, pressure cookers, and nonstick cookware, all of which it takes credit for inventing. The company, founded in 1857 by Antoine Lescure, sells its products in more than 120 countries. Lescure's descendants control the company.
