Jean Dubost in innovation pages of new Home Fashion News
07/02/2026
The magazine Home Fashion News dedicates a two-page article to Jean Dubost, tracing 106 years of innovation guided by real-world needs. Written by journalist Blandine Scherpe, this feature gives voice to Alexandre Dubost, CEO of the family-owned cutlery house, who reflects on the company's deep-rooted culture of innovation, dating back to the 1950s.
The article highlights a journey of concrete innovations: from the first coloured handles made using injection press technology, to the famous "Coup'Tout" designed for cutting frozen food, and the iconic oyster-opening tool that became a signature product. It also covers more recent developments, such as the tomato/baguette knife, created in response to a specific request from a foreign client, the steak knife, and the Circo project—a range of fully dismountable and repairable knives.
This feature also underscores Jean Dubost's pioneering environmental commitment, as the first cutlery maker to obtain PEFC certification back in 2009, along with the work carried out on materials and point-of-sale merchandising.
A wonderful recognition of our craftsmanship and our ability to innovate while staying true to our roots. We invite you to read the full article, which perfectly captures our philosophy: innovation, yes—but always grounded in the reality of our business.
