Gobel bakeware has a rich history in the baking industry, beginning in 1887 when Etienne Gobel opened a Paris factory for manufacturing copper and tin baking molds. The business was very successful, and by the 1930s the Gobel brand was producing over 2,000 different bakeware products. Later in the 1940s, the company became recognized as a global supplier of baking molds and tins.
