De Buyer - because every recipe holds a secret
The heritage and the skills passed down for generations
Established in the Val d'Ajol in the Vosges the de Buyer company is a true "Made in France" family-owned business focusing on high-quality, heritage, French tradition and skills passed down through the generations.
The story of de Buyer starts in 1830 with the production of cutlery in a small smithy in Val d’Ajol from metals mined in the local area. The company was always working with culinary professionals to develop and produce ‘true’ utensils that people need and use, working with a range of materials (steel, coated aluminium, stainless steel, copper etc.) corresponding to the different cooking methods that characterise traditional French cuisine.
From the very beginning the company was open to innovation in order to improve the quality of its household products and the knowledge and expertise has been passed down from parent to child. As a result, de Buyer owns know-how that together with devotion to traditional French cooking, modern technology and passion for their work, make the brand and its products a must-have for many famous chefs from all around the world who know that having the right cooking tools is crucial for the success of their recipes.
