The difference: TB Groupe

At TB Groupe everything that is produced is controlled and checked throughout the entire manufacturing process by the team of collaborators who work in the knife manufacturing business in Thiers.

Contrary to many of its competitors in the field that resort to subcontracting, the leader in French cutlery is dedicated to using all of its knife manufacturing skills and knowledge to develop and create their products within its workshops in France. TB Groupe believes that it is important to keep its manufacturing process within the French borders. Thanks to this skill and the fact that the knives are “Made in France” the products manufactured in Thiers are the best knives that one can find on the market today.

The enterprise’s internal structure

The company Générale De Découpage was created in 1999 according to this vision. This company is specialized in cutting and the treatment and transformation of metals (especially stainless steel).

In 2001 TB Groupe also integrated a stainless steel thermal treatment sector into the company. This procedure is essential to the blade manufacturing process. The force of this policy coincides with the mindset which allows TB Groupe to demonstrate that it is different and show that it has control over the reliability and quality of its knife manufacturing process in Thiers.
