Moulinex

Moulinex is a French brand of small domestic appliances currently owned by SEB. Moulinex was founded in 1937 in Alençon (Orne) by Jean Mantelet under the name ‘Le moulin-légumes’. After the Second World War, the company expanded its production facilities throughout Lower Normandy and the Pays de la Loire region. Moulinex was struck off the commercial register on 31 October 2018 following a winding-up order issued after the sale of the business. On 28 September 2001, the SEB Group made an initial takeover bid, recognising the brand’s strong potential, which was highly valued by French households. On 22 October 2001, the Nanterre court ruled on the choice between Groupe SEB’s takeover bid for Moulinex and a takeover by the investment fund Fidei. The takeover by Groupe SEB enabled three out of nine factories in France to be retained. The insolvency administrators proceeded to close the other sites and make staff redundant, which led to numerous protests. The Moulinex brand covers a wide range of small domestic appliances. The brand is available in many countries. It can be found in most major retail chains as well as in kitchenware shops. The products are manufactured in Groupe SEB’s factories in France and China.
