A green Company
Quality and durability inherent in our products
Our cooking appliances are subject to the most rigorous quality controls: 100% of our products are scrupulously checked at our factory in Niort, France, guaranteeing full compliance with current CE and ETL regulations. Our design is focused on durability, which is reflected in our choice of materials and manufacturing methods optimised for robustness :
Over the past 10 years, the company has moved two production lines to France to sustain a dozen jobs in its Niort factory and has redistributed markets to over 10 French suppliers to create overall consistency in our approach.
A strong commitment to eco-design and recycling
At ENO, eco-responsibility permeates every decision we take, from the design phase right through to the end of our products' lives :
- Recycled and recyclable materials: cast iron, stainless steel, aluminium, brass and copper - all the materials used in our griddles are 100% recyclable, and often come from materials that have already been recycled. We use a significant proportion of recycled materials, in particular 17.7% for steel/stainless steel.
- Eco-responsible packaging : our packaging and catalogues are produced in-house.

We use a significant proportion of recycled materials, in particular 17.7% for steel/stainless steel.
- Eco-responsible packaging : our packaging and catalogues are produced and printed in France, using cardboard made from 70% recycled fibre. We have also eliminated all use of plastic in our packaging.
- Optimised waste management : waste (metal, plastic and cardboard) is systematically sorted at each workstation. Powders from the paint and enamelling booths are automatically recycled.
Towards zero carbon and energy efficiency
We are taking tangible action to move towards zero carbon :
- Technological investment : we operate a fleet of modern, energy-efficient machines.
- Clean application techniques : for enamelling and painting, we favour solvent-free, water-free and closed-circuit processes.
- Energy recovery : the heat released by some of our furnaces is recovered to heat our workshops via cogeneration.
- Transition to Factory of the Future 4.0: The integration of digital technology and robotisation is reducing the arduousness of tasks, achieving ‘zero paper’ and optimising all our production flows.
- Controlled consumption of resources : we have reduced our water consumption in the enamelling process by 23% and our gas consumption by 40%. What's more, the water is systematically treated by our in-house water treatment plant (60 control points before discharge).
- High-performance burners : each appliance is fitted with the burner best suited to its size, offering a 25% reduction in energy consumption compared with equivalent products on the market.
Proudly producing in France since 1909
As the first French manufacturer to be awarded the Origine France Garantie label in 2011, our century-old company is clearly demonstrating its commitment to the local ecosystem. This certification attests to the French origin of our products and illustrates our industrial commitment, which has lasted for over a decade. We systematically favour local suppliers and subcontractors, choosing those who share our eco-responsible approach, ensuring greater transparency and minimising environmental impact.
At ENO, quality, sustainability and respect for the environment are not just words, but the fundamental pillars of our French manufacturing.
