Guy Demarle in northern France. An experienced baker looking for a better way to make baguette bread, M. Guy Demarle invented the first non-stick baguette baking trays with silicone coatings, ushering in a new era in professional and home bakeware. A few years later he created the original Silpat®, an eco-friendly silicone baking mat that has been a favorite among professional pastry chefs around
the world for decades, offering superior stick resistance, even with the most delicate of pastries. The Silpat® is made in France from the highest quality food grade silicone that is reinforced with a fiberglass mesh to provide maximum heat transfer, ultimate release and quick and easy clean up. This easy-to-use non-stick mat saves natural resources in multiple ways. Its inherent release qualities eliminate the need to grease pans, reducing your use of oil or butter. It replaces parchment paper, making for a more economical and environmentally friendly way of baking. This money-saving kitchen tool also simplifies cleanup and helps preserve the life of your baking pans. The Silpat® line has now expanded to include a number of products to add convenience to baking. All Silpat® non-stick baking products are tested to the highest quality standards and conform to FDA regulations and are NSF certified and Kosher certified. Our products are sold nationwide at retailers including Macy’s, Kitchen Collection and Sur La Table. Demarle’s international headquarters are in Wavrin, France. In 1993, Demarle opened a US office in Cranbury, NJ.
