Gobel, the brand for demanding professionals and enthusiasts, was founded in 1887, two years before the construction of the Eiffel Tower, at 43/45 rue Faubourg du Temple, Paris.

The company quickly became one of the leading French manufacturers of pastry utensils and conquered foreign markets from the beginning of the 20th century. Soon cramped in his Parisian workshop, Etienne GOBEL set up his production workshop in Touraine, today an EPV labelled workshop, in Joué-lès-Tours, where the tradition continues to this day.
