French cookware manufacturer From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Staub is a premium French enameled cast iron cookware and bakeware manufacturer that was originally headquartered in Turckheim, Alsace, France.[1] The first piece, a cocotte or coquelle (Dutch oven), was designed by Francis Staub in 1974 in a dormant artillery factory.[2] Pieces are manufactured with cast iron covered with double-glazed enamel.[2][3]

In 2007, approximately 50% of the company's sales revenue was from abroad, and the company realized €44 million in total sales.[4] In April 2008, the company had 430 employees, and at this time Francis Staub was president of the company.[4]
In 2008, Staub operated three production facilities in France, a joint venture in Japan and a marketing branch in the United States.[4][5]
In June 2008, Staub was acquired by Zwilling J. A. Henckels, but it remains and has continued to operate as an independent brand.[5][6]
The cookware's aesthetic complements the decor of a number of restaurants, and some restaurants cook and serve dishes directly to customers at their tables in Staub cookware.[7] The enamel coating makes the cookware rustproof, and easy to clean.[1][3] Staub's cocottes have nubs on the interior of the lids, which enables condensation to collect and drip down to baste foods uniformly as they are cooking.[8]
