Fortessa Dinnerware - "Durable Elegance"

Our quality of design has established us as the crown jewel of the world's finest tables, boasting a client list that includes many of the top properties in the world. Our complete range of dinnerware for the upscale foodservice industry includes:

Fortaluxe®, a proprietary composition, combines the high-fired glaze integrity of European porcelain with Alumina Oxide reinforcement for overall durability: glaze resistance, thermal shock resistance, edge chip resistance, and impact resistance.

Fortessa Bone China™ features the edge strength, creamy white color, and translucency of true bone china, one of the most durable and versatile product compositions on the market. Our bone china is setting new standards for presentation.

SuperWhite™, a vitrified china reinforced with alumina oxide. Durability, elegance, and affordability - you can have them all with Superwhite. Independent laboratory testing confirms the durability of our products. Best of all, this durable elegance comes at a refreshing price point competitive with that of any quality producer in the world.



Fortessa Metalware - "Design and Performance"

Fortessa brings a passion for design and exacting standards of performance to the manufacturing of its metalware. During a meal few things will be handled with such intimacy as flatware and it deserves particular attention. Therefore we specialize in heavy gauge 18/10 stainless or silver plated flatware that features heft, balance in the hand, and pleasing design. As well, we offer unique accessories and hollowware in both 18/10 and electro-plated stainless steel. Our high standards of production ensure the long lasting performance of all Fortessa Metalware.


Schott Zwiesel Crystal Glass – “The World’s Best Crystal Glass”

Schott Zwiesel (a brand of Zwiesel Kristallglas, AG) has a 130 year history of innovation and success, including such break through developments as the first machine made stemware and the first lead-free crystal glass. With the introduction of the proprietary Tritan® Crystal technique (the result of special additives such as titanium with a unique tempering process) Zwiesel has once again revolutionized the industry. Rigorous laboratory testing proves the brilliance, dishwasher safety, and break resistance of Tritan. We invite you to discover why we call our product “The World’s Best Crystal Glass”.
