Specialty
houseware store Gourdo’s recently gathered members of the media at Global Academy
for a briefing on Terraillon kitchen scales.
Founded in the French
Alps in 1946, Terraillon has always been at the forefront of technology,
designing and making appliances that anticipate consumer expectations and
exceed their requirements. Its products
include kitchen scales, bathroom scales, water filtration jugs and cartridges. The brand also carries a baby care range and
products for health and well-being.
Recognized
around the globe for product design and its manufacturing processes,
Terraillon’s commitment to quality is unwavering. The Terraillon headquarters in Paris, France,
houses international teams who work in collaboration with researchers based in France and Asia,
designing products that constantly improve precision and user’s comfort.
Production is divided between different countries in Europe and Asia and items
are exported to more than 80 countries in five continents through subsidiaries
in the UK, USA, Hong Kong, Italy and Germany.
The best-selling
kitchen scale in France, every Terraillon unit is
equipped with a liquid measurement facility and an add ‘n’ weigh tare function
-- which allows a scale to account for the weight of the container and
display only the weight of what it holds.
Aside
from being easy-to-use and precise, the Terraillon kitchen scales are
faithful to the avant-garde spirit of the brand. Aware of how consumers are
extremely sensitive to the aesthetics of objects that are part of their
everyday life, Terraillon is dedicated to designing products where function and
form really make people want to use them. The combination of technology and
design is apparent in every Terraillon item.
One such example is
the Terraillon Halo 3kg model which has a stylish European chrome finish,
available in green, white, red, and black. It boasts of an elevated glass platform which optimizes the surface for weight
measurement
and a large display screen for convenient reading. Measurements can be reflected in kilogram
(kg) or pounds (lb).
During
the Gourdo’s event, Global
Academy pastry arts
instructor, chef Angela Ventura, shared a cake recipe, baked bread, and whipped
up pretty macarons in front of the audience, emphasizing the importance of
being meticulous in baking and stressing the significance of having the right
tools and equipment for accurate portions.
Kelvin Mow, Commercial
and Operations Director of Terraillon visiting from the Hong Kong offices
announced that the Macaron line will soon be available in the Philippines.

prune, raspberry, pistachio, chocolate and grenadine, the kitchen scales also have
