Where is Le Creuset made?

Another thread implies it may not still be coming from France. I bought my first piece this last year and I love it. (But will not be buying more if it has been farmed out)

I think it depends on the piece. Some say made in France some made in China and Thailand. Most stores will show the country of origin on their website. I have purchased the Emile Henry bakeware which is made in France and I love it. Good luck.

For that price it better still be made in France. I'll google it.

However, Le Creuset products that are not cast-iron may be made in other countries, such as China (accessories or silicone products), Thailand (kettles and ceramics), England (enamel cleaner), Portugal (stainless steel).[citation needed]and Swaziland (clay pots).[citation needed]

Japan has a very high income and they outsource their manufacturing just like everyone else. Actually the Chinese have been in that business for so long, they are probably better than the original manufacturers.

I have several pots & pans purchased over the last few years and all say made in France.

I don't feel China makes anything of real quality.
