The Lion symbol first appeared in 1850 on pepper and coffee mills. The Lion symbolizes the qualities of Peugeot tools and utensils: the strength of the teeth, the flexibility of the blades and the cutting speed. The mills have retained these assets and for over 150 years have remained the benchmark in the industry. The Peugeot family history dates back to a mill in a small village in France around 1793. They have been manufacturing everything from tools to bicycles to pepper mills and coffee grinders and much more over the past 160 years. Peugeot of France created the pepper grinder in 1842. Often copied, but never equaled, the mechanism made of case hardened steel is designed to crack the peppercorns before the actual grinding process. The grooves on the Peugeot mechanism are individually cut into the metal and then case hardened, making them virtually indestructible.
