Dudson - Tableware, Glassware and Cutlery specialists to the Hotel and Restaurant industries

Manufacturing

Made in England

Dudson manufactures exclusively in the United Kingdom where all production originates from two factory sites situated in the towns of Burslem and Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.

Both sites began production of Dudson hotelware in the early 1950s, and since then have seen substantial expansion and improvement brought about through the company's investment and modernisation programme.

Just over four years ago, Dudson completed a £7m expansion and modernisation project; part of a continuing programme to remain competitive. With its ongoing programme of investment and development, Dudson continues to set the standard in design, product performance and manufacturing technology for today's hospitality tableware.

Quality Assurance

Over the course of its long history, Dudson has always been at the forefront when it comes to innovation in production techniques. The same is true today; not only with regard to manufacturing, where the company continually strives to improve productivity and efficiency, but also in research and development, where quality and production methods are constantly under review.

Manufacturing methods and raw materials are selected to ensure that all health and safety standards for products are exceeded and quality checks are conducted at each stage of the manufacturing process.
