Moulinex was founded in 1937 and its hand-cranked vegetable mill gave the company its name. It became a byword for kitchen appliances in France before collapsing in 2001; Groupe SEB bought the brand out of liquidation. The purchase was contested by competition authorities before being cleared with conditions on French market share.
