Groupe SEB has completed 3 recorded acquisitions and 0 divestitures or spin-offs, spanning 2001 to 2016.
| Date | Type | Assets | Counterparty | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov 2016 | Acquisition | WMF | — | €1.58bn |
| Jul 2004 | Acquisition | All-Clad | — | $250m |
| Oct 2001 | Acquisition | Moulinex | — | Undisclosed |
Groupe SEB acquired WMF for about EUR 1.585 billion, its largest purchase. The attraction was the professional coffee machine business supplying cafes, hotels and offices rather than the consumer cookware the brand is better known for.
Groupe SEB acquired All-Clad for about $250 million, buying the bonded stainless steel cookware that is standard in American professional kitchens. All-Clad still manufactures in Pennsylvania using a metal-rolling process its founder developed for industrial applications.
Groupe SEB bought Moulinex out of liquidation after the company collapsed, taking a brand that had become a byword for kitchen appliances in France. Competition authorities cleared the purchase only with conditions on the group's share of the French market.
