Lagostina’s core values of impeccable craftsmanship, high-quality materials, technological innovation and elegant design have endured since its very first cookware in 1901. Founded in Omegna, Italy, by Carlo Lagostina and his son Emilio, Lagostina quickly became a renowned brand in manufacturing tinplate cookware, and over the years the company saw the introduction of stainless steel to its cookware (and the phasing out of tinplate), the introduction of its famous Thermoplan and Lagoplan bases, plus several innovative products including pressure cookers, the Pastaiola, and the Slippy, the first stainless-steel pan with a non-stick finish.

After more than 120 years of history, successes and challenges, Lagostina looks forward with the force of a market leader that has turned innovation into an essential mainstay of its history, without ever giving up the tradition that has made it great. The taste for sharing and conviviality around the table and the "Italian pleasure of fine cooking" represent Lagostina's essence, together with its constant attention to quality materials, reliable performance and Italian style, made up of elegance and simplicity. Today, as a premium cookware brand loved by Canadians, Lagostina stands behind its core values.
