If "nothing sticks to Teflon" how do they get the Teflon to stick to the pan?

It's amazing how often this question gets asked. From DuPont's Teflon website (www.teflon.com) comes the following answer:
"Non-sticks are applied in layers, just like paint. The first layer is the primer and it is the special chemistry in the primer that makes it adhere to the metal surface of the pan. The primer will adhere either to a substrate that is prepared by grit blasting or roughening the surface, or it can be applied over a smooth substrate."
