 From local NBC television channel WFMJ comes this showcase report of how American dinnerware icon Homer Laughlin is utilizing both traditional manufacturing techniques and state-of-the-art 3D technology to meet cusotmer demands in the hospitality tabletop category.
Glassware continues to evolve with more beverage-specific glassware being shown. And, it seems everyone is trying to find a way to capitalize on the craft beer craze which shows no signs of abating. For operators who are looking to improve their wineglass selection, there appear to be more opportunities than ever as new shapes abound at nearly all price and quality levels. Flatware and cutlery designs seem to be taking a turn to a more contemporary styling, many incorporating a textured finishing. Companies like Steelite offering many of their flatware patterns in multiple finishes. Traditional tabletop companies are also continuing their push in buffet and cookware systems. Oneida, Bauscher, and Steelite all are showcasing various forms and systems for banquet and catering cooking. Not sure if it is an entirely new trend but there seemed to be multiple instances of products on display to gauge customer reaction and to gain feedback than we recall in the past. This may owe to manufactures' reluctance to invest too much in a new product line without specific feedback which makes sense in an era where "what's new" is the most often-asked question.
