Dining is best enjoyed when it captures all our senses. That's why many say we first eat with our eyes before our mouths, because appetite begins with seeing. If this is true, that makes the selection of dinnerware even more important.
The team at Elevation Reps understands the importance of dinnerware, and that's why through our global partners at Steelite, we provide everything needed for the tabletop in one location.
Steelite is the world's leading manufacturer of dinnerware, tabletop, and buffet solutions. With durable designs and stylish collections and patterns, Steelite is one of the most recognizable names in foodservice, but that's not all Steelite offers.
Through their own partnerships with leading brands around the world, Steelite offers the best in tabletop and hospitality-focused solutions. Let's introduce you to a few of them now.
Homer Laughlin is arguably the biggest name in American China manufacturing. Founded by a potter in 1871 in Newell, West Virginia, the Homer Laughlin China Company was purchased by Steelite in 2020 and rebranded it as the Fiesta Tableware Company, a reflection of Homer Laughlin's infamous Fiesta collection of dinnerware. In 2002, the New York Times declared Fiesta as the "most collected brand of china in the United States."
Flatware should be consistent, well-balanced, visually appealing, and it should feel good in your hands. That's what Walco is known for. From classic baroque patterns to modern designs that exude elegance, Walco is one of the world's leading brands when it comes to high-quality flatware.
One of the most famous concepts in dining is enjoying a candlelight dinner. Through the global Steelite partnership, Elevation can also help restaurants manage the candlelight through Hollowick, providers of fine-quality restaurant lighting since 1971. Hollowick even offers food-warming solutions and flameless lighting to help underscore the breadth of its offerings.
Lastly, the Steelite family of brands can even help provide the table itself, particularly in a buffet, banquet, or hospitality setting. Mogogo creates tables and modular serving solutions that are easy to assemble and break down after use. Their beautiful aesthetics also allow operators to utilize them without the need to cover surfaces with expensive linens. Sometimes considered the "LEGOS" of the buffet, these innovative solutions will save on overhead while providing a great experience for guests.
