Marc Grégoire

Marc Grégoire (Tefal) was the inventor of nonstick pans.[1] When his wife learned of an ONERA engineer using Teflon to assist in the removal of glass fibre moulds, she challenged him to create some non-stick cookware. He attached Teflon to the base of an aluminum frying pan.[2] [3] It was Grégoire who found a way to bond PTFE to aluminum creating the first ever nonstick cookware[4] (in 1954)[5] which later became the world leader in nonstick pans.[6] In 1956[7] Grégoire and his wife launched the Tefal Corporation[8] developing the slogan: La Poêle Tefal, la poêle qui n’attache vraimant pas (The Tefal saucepan, the saucepan pan that really doesn’t stick.)[9] In 2018 it is still regarded as one of the best non-stick pans.[10] [11]
