Isn’t Le Creuset only enamelled cast iron? They have a shop near me and the windows are full of a rainbow selection of different coloured enamelled pans. Victoria their pans are printed with made in Colombia but interesting to know its a Canadian owner. Will take a look at some of the others.
I can’t say yet if it’s good or not because it’s my first cast iron skillet and I’ve had it for a bit less than half a year, but so far I’m very happy with Maku and the price is good compared to some others I’ve seen on sale. Family-owned Finnish company based in Tampere, but also available here in Estonia. Don’t know about their availability in other countries.
Maku products are manufactured in Europe, Finland and the Far East in factories that, if located in a high-risk country, are committed to the amfori BSCI Code of Conduct by signing the document or are audited by a third party. We use the amfori Country Risk Classification as our risk country classification.
Edit: Now looking at it apparently it is enamelled cast iron.
Any good European producers of non enamelled cast iron kitchenware?
From this list (which I am going to save, because I hadn’t come across it before):

They make non-enameled products, but they are most known for their really nice (and expensive) enameled stuff.
I think they have some un-enameled stuff too
I have a frying pan set from them, made in Portugal.
It works as you would expect any frying pans to work. The stainless steel pan has some core to distribute heat.

I know nothing about this company but the statement that all is good because some manager has signed a document is a bit ridiculous
Oh I just copied that bit along with the bit that some shit is still made in Finland, to convey that not all of it is.
