In 1978, Manuel MERIN created FORGE ADOUR in Bayonne. At the time, FORGE ADOUR specialised in the manufacture of fireplace accessories, but it began to add an additional activity to its production. The manufacture of planchas gradually became a separate activity and the plancha, the flagship product of FORGE ADOUR.
FORGE ADOUR is today the leading European manufacturer of planchas. Renowned for its capacity to innovate, FORGE ADOUR is writing the history of the plancha and is a real driving force in the outdoor cooking sector.

FRENCH CREATION,
SPANISH PRODUCTION:

FORGE ADOUR's strength lies in the total control of its design, manufacturing and marketing processes, enabling it to offer products that are in line with its values and respectful of the environment in their manufacture, use and maintenance.
In Bayonne, the company can count on the research department, product design, commercial strategy, logistics and service. It is here that it imagines the products of tomorrow and listens to its users.
In Villafranca de los Barros, Spain, the birthplace of the MERIN family, the factory is made up of qualified and dedicated employees working on state-of-the-art machinery. 90 people develop, manufacture, ship and maintain almost 200,000 products every year.
Today, Emmanuel MERIN, son of the founder, is at the head of the company, accompanied by his partners Jean Pierre CASTEL, Olivier RENOUX and Samuel DERGUY. Together, they are leading a global strategy that allows FORGE ADOUR to be widely present in the field and to pursue its development in France and abroad by relying on a real reputation.
