Les fourneaux de cuisine produits en Bourgogne par Lacanche sont export\u00e9s dans le monde entier. SoBARNES d\u00e9crypte la saga de cette entreprise familiale qui a le don de nous mettre l\u2019eau \u00e0 la bouche.<\/h4>\n

Burgundians are known for being discreet. They may live at the heart of a land of plenty, famous around the world for its wines and gastronomy, but they like to keep a low profile. The venerable Lacanche brand, in the village of the same name, is no different, and yet what stories it has to tell...<\/p>\n

Starting with its creation in 1796, when Jacques-Etienne Caumartin took over a 15th<\/sup>\u00a0century foundry and took it to a whole new level. With one important detail that goes a long way at SoBARNES: its range cookers are still designed and built at the same site today.<\/p>\n

The company equipped the inns in the surrounding regions with ranges, stoves and casserole dishes recognised for their quality for generations. The early 20th<\/sup>\u00a0century saw the introduction of coloured enamel, which became the brand\u2019s hallmark. In 1950, the company had 600 employees, but was subsequently hit by an abrupt slowdown in the face of new consumption patterns. Until Andr\u00e9 Augagneur, a long-time employee, decided to buy out the company in 1982 and save it. Thanks to a winning idea: selling range cookers based on professional models for personal use. A concept that has proven its merit for 40\u00a0years!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
