THE SAVOIR-FAIRE OF THE PROFESSIONS
The manufacturer Le Marquier has been in operation since 1971. Initially established in France in an artistic ironwork workshop in Bayonne, Le Marquier began its activities by manufacturing household products. Le Marquier is a company that focuses on the excellence of their products and those who manufacture them. Based in France since always, they are a certified company Origine France Garantie which is a guarantee of quality and a proof of recognition towards their blacksmiths, designers, punchers, welders, fitters, painters and sprayers (enamelling) who work to manufacture Le Marquier products.
THE MASTERS OF THE PLANCHA
It was in 1995 that Le Marquier officially launched into the manufacturing of planchas. For Le Marquier, launching into the manufacturing of a product like the plancha made perfect sense, it was a company that already had the tools to launch into manufacturing and it was a product that matched their values: passion, excellence, but above all conviviality. The excellence of their planchas was quickly recognized by customers for the high quality of their enameled cast iron cooking plate and the uniformity of its heat.
Le Marquier now offers 3 different ranges of gas planchas, in addition to accessories and outdoor kitchen modules to maximize your experience. Their plancha ranges are called Pure, Allure and Amalia. Each of these ranges offers appliances with the same quality of cooking plate that Le Marquier is renowned for.
The main features that distinguish the Allure and Amalia ranges from the Pure range are the safety thermocouple on the burners and the fact that they were designed by the graphic studio of Stellantis, an Italian-French-American automobile giant business that includes Peugeot, Maserati and several other major vehicle brands. Finally, their outdoor kitchen module will easily allow you to build your ideal environment to make the most of your plancha.
Proud of its origins, Le Marquier obtained its Origine France Garantie certification in 2013. This certification was important to them because it confirmed the excellence of their products, but especially the excellence of their employees who exercise their know-how for the good of their company. The Le Marquier team is made up of 48 people who all have the quality of the products delivered to their customers at heart.

The cooking plate is made of enameled cast iron, the same enameled cast iron that is the guarantee of quality of Le Marquier planchas and which is used on the Allure and Amalia models. It ensures uniform heat distribution over the entire cooking surface.
