HISTORIC
|
THE BEGINNING
In 1947, in a premise of 50 m2 situated in Levallois-Perret, Louis Tellier and his son, Jean, produced for a restaurant owner friend their first "mill" for passing the fruits and vegetables through.
A small revolution in the world of cooking, the "LT mill" was to gradually become an essential tool for cooks. Light purees, milled soups, compotes and mashes, some new pages in contemporary cooking were turned over.
The company grew and, in 1957, it established itself in La Garenne-Colombes. It equiped itself with sheet metal machines and it set up a hot dip tinning workshop. |

A WORLD SUCCESS
In 1960, Tellier imagined a chip cutter of a completely new design. This innovation spread throughout the world and took part in the international success of the 'French fry" (with this product, TELLIER started to work at the international), "Pomme allumette", "Pont-neuf" and other soufflé potatoes which find their place on all the menus. Although copied a good many times throughout the world, several hundreds of thousands of the original LT chip cutter were produced. |

UNE AVANCÉE MAJEURE
A partir de 1976, Tellier innove encore de façon spectaculaire avec sa gamme d'ouvre-boîtes.
A cette époque, les ouvre-boîtes pour professionnels n'ont pas évolué techniquement depuis le début du siècle. Ils sont indémontables et impossibles à nettoyer. Ils sont généralement considérés comme l'un des principaux responsables de contamination et d'intoxication alimentaires en cuisine collective.
Tellier va produire le premier ouvre-boîtes en acier inoxydable, démontable sans outil, lavable en lave-vaisselle, et permettre ainsi une avancée déterminante dans le domaine de l'hygiène en restauration collective. Avec l'aide du G.A.M.A.C. (Groupement pour l'Amélioration du Matériel destiné à l'Alimentation Collective), Tellier obtiendra la marque NF Hygiène Alimentaire.
Un succès commercial remarquable viendra saluer cette innovation rapidement imitée par les fabricants américains et européens. |

A MAJOR INNOVATION / A DECISIVE ADVANCE
As from 1976, Tellier again made another spectacular innovation with its canopener range.
At that time, canopeners for professionals had not developed technically since the begining of the century. They could not be dismantled and it was impossible to clean them. They are generally regarded as one of the main factors responsible for contamination of foodstuffs in institutional kitchens.
Tellier was to produce the first stainless steel canopener which could be dismantled without tools and washed in the dish washer, in this way making a decisive advance in the field of institutional catering hygiene. With the help of the G.A.M.A.C. (Groupement pour l'Amélioration du Matériel destiné à l'Alimentation Collective), it obtained the mark NF Hygiène Alimentaire.
Remarkable commercial success was to follow this innovation, which was rapidly imitated by US and European manufacturers.
Always in 1987 the Company had to move and it establishes itself in Argenteuil. Pierre Tellier, the present Chairman and Managing Director, took over the management of the Company in 1990 and get in 1992 the « Manager of the year », prize of the Val d’Oise department. Today, Tellier continues with its expansion, each year launching innovative products onto the world market : vegetable cutter, small mixer, mincer, "guitare à foie gras", bread slicer, etc., a whole range of small, efficient and robust small tools for professionals.
In 1997, Tellier celebrates its fiftieth anniversary and inaugurates its internet site. In 1998 Tellier starts the production of a new range of tomato and fruit slicers and wedgers, and a carrot and cucumber peeler. However, a new extension is again necessary and Tellier has to move in a large premise at 21 rue Guy Moquet.
In 2001, Tellier launched a range of tools and training books to sculpt fruits and vegetables. It allowed everyone to start learning this traditional asian craft. Since then, the range has spread without interuption. The addicted are more and more numerous everyday and TELLIER was acknowledged to be the great specialist on art and vegetable carving.
