Staub is made in Alsace. Chasseur, a division of Invicta, is made in Ardennes. Among other things, Invicta also produces bbq's, cast iron fireboxes, and those cute cast iron "feet" on marble tables. ← sorry - Cousances. Le Chasseur is another producer - apologies. STAUB makes NOMAR and FOTIGNAC

I believe Le Chasseur is made in the same factory as Staub. It's the lower-priced spread, not being quite as well finished and not quite as heavy as the Staub and Le Cruset, but still a very, very good oven. In the US you can sometimes find them at TJ Maxx and Marshall's. ← Hi Le Chasseur is made by Le Creuset (and not STAUB). STAUB makes 2 other brands of their own (for hypermarket and caterers). STAUB is pretty premium stuff and hence guess why chefs prefer it as opposed to Le Creuset. Also STAUB's interior is a porous material unlike Le Creuset (which is smooth - kinda like cooking in glass) - i think items braised in glass.. do not taste the same as porous material whihc helps braising, reducing and caremelising.
