Bringing his degree in industrial engineering and metallurgical experience, Paul Van Achter,Took over manufacturing and trading in 1977, With production and design moving to professional grade culinary cooking equipment.
Paul pioneered the use of bimetal technology in the production of copper cookware. The bimetal technology approach involves laminating a large copper plate directly onto a fine layer of stainless steel. This bimetal was designed to replace the softer tin layering method (which has a melting point at 230 ° C) that had been used for a rather long time. This bimetal structure is regarded today as the gold standard in the manufacture of cooking equipment.
Falk Culinair started its story from 1958, and now is a company based in Wespelaar, Belgium, which specialises in the manufacturing of professional-grade copper cookware of outstanding quality.
Today, the company Falk Culinair is led by Jan Van Achter. He aims for global distribution of FALK’s beautiful and functional cookware.

Every FALK pan is made by today’s high standards with the use of exclusive materials without compromise and with a taste of tradition".
