Le Creuset is renowned worldwide for the high quality of its cast iron kitchen equipment. The company’s foundry at Fresnoy-Le-Grand, in Northern France, has been producing cast iron cookware since 1925. Since much of the finishing is done by hand, no two pieces are ever exactly the same, so each piece of Le Creuset cast iron cookware is completely unique. The company operates worldwide through an extensive network of subsidiary operations and requires an intranet to improve communication among the company’s operating entities.

The range of Le Creuset kitchen equipment has extended to encompass a much larger range of products, making an intranet the most effective means to inform all subsidiary operations of any changes and additions to the product range, prices and promotions. The SORCE intranet provides the flexibility in one cost-effective solution that Le Creuset can use to communicate in a timely manner with their worldwide operations and get feedback on the success of particular product lines in each country.

“Le Creuset is a manufacturer and distributor of premium quality kitchen equipment. We needed an intranet that would convey the image of quality and ensure that all our subsidiary operations had the product knowledge necessary to maximize sales and customer satisfaction in their territories,” commented Keith Divall, Finance Director of Le Creuset. “With SORCE, we have deployed a quality intranet solution that enables us to provide timely information on all products and ensure that we get feedback on how particular product lines are performing in different countries.”

“Le Creuset is a byword for quality in kitchen equipment. The ethos of excellence that prevails in all aspects of the company’s business also has to be seen in their choice of an intranet solution,” added John Nicklin, Sales Director of SORCE. “Le Creuset chose the SORCE solution for its rapid deployment capability and its flexibility. As the company’s product ranges change and grow, the highly-flexible SORCE intranet can also grow organically to integrate new information and applications with ease.”
