Bialetti, the Italian brand name behind the now famous Bialetti Mukka Express Cappuccino Coffee brewer, is an excellent example.

Le Creuset is another brand name with a long and honorable tradition for producing fine cookware. French chefs have favored Le Creuset products for decades, and the brand dates back to 1925. This brand name is synonymous with perfect enameled cast iron cookware. Items are made of molten steel and cast in a unique mold before being expertly enameled. The result is cast iron cookware that distributes heat evenly, while browning and caramelizing food to perfection. Although Le Creuset products were exported from France as early as 1952, “Le Creuset of America Inc” was created in South Carolina in 1974, marking the beginning of internationalization of the brand name. Le Creuset’s continued success stems from its incessant innovation. It launched the Multifunction Cocotte to promote steaming food in the 1980s and introduced the Vitrobase to make Le Creuset cookware more suitable to ceramic hobs. The brand has diversified its production in recent years: enamel on steel kettles in 1995, silicone spatulas in 1997, a textile range in 1999, stoneware bake ware in 2001, silicone bake ware and stainless steel cookware in 2002 and Toughened Non-Stick frying pans in 2008.
