Le Creuset was founded in France in 1925 by two Belgian entrepreneurs. It failed. South African Paul van Zuydam aquired the debt-ridden French company in 1988 and turned it into an iconic international brand with a turnover of USD850m in 2025, making him the newest addition to SA’s billionaire list.

South Africa has a newest billionaire: Paul van Zuydam, owner of Le Creuset, the iconic cookware brand. Forbes estimates his net worth at $1.7 billion as of December 2025.

Van Zuydam built the brand into a $850 million cookware empire, focusing on craftsmanship, distinctive design, and disciplined management. At 87, he is South Africa’s oldest billionaire, showing that steady careers can still produce late financial success.

Le Creuset, known for its Volcanic Flame orange pots, has endured wars, family disputes, and market changes, yet van Zuydam’s careful turnaround boosted output, expanded internationally, and maintained debt-free operations.

Protect Your Brand with a Registered Trademark

A trademark is your badge of origin, distinguishing your business from others. Registration gives you exclusive rights and legal protection across South Africa, whether a name, logo, colour, shape or even a sound.

Why register?
· Prevents others from using similar marks
· Enables infringement claims and interdicts
· Increases your brand’s value
· Essential for franchising and licensing
· Helps stop counterfeit imports

A trademark lasts indefinitely with renewal every 10 years.

Let Potgieter & Associates guide you through the process.
