Arc Cardinal, a North American leading supplier of tabletop to the hospitality industry, is proud to announce that it is partnering with Dudson, a leader in the ceramic sector.

Arc Cardinal and Dudson will announce a sales, marketing and distribution partnership in the North American market at the National Restaurant Association Show 19-22 May in Chicago. Two of the leading tableware manufacturers will now work in tandem to provide a complete tabletop package of the highest quality glassware, ceramic dinnerware and flatware to the hospitality industry.

Both companies have a long history devoted to quality craftsmanship, innovation and sustainability. Dudson was founded in 1800 in Stoke-on-Trent, England. A leader in the ceramic sector, Dudson will contribute nine generations of expertise in producing stylish, yet remarkably durable dinnerware to the joint partnership thus offering chefs greater variety and the flexibility of customization. Arc, the worldwide tabletop leader, was established in 1825 in Arques, Pas-de-Calais, France where the headquarters are still located. It is the leading manufacturer of crystal and glassware worldwide. Arc Cardinal is its North American subsidiary and currently commercializes Arcoroc and Chef & Sommelier brands.

Dudson dinnerware is categorized into four main ranges; Evo, Harvest, Fine China and Finest Vitrified Tableware all of which carry a Lifetime Edge Chip Warranty. Together they combine a variety of leading edge design, textures, shapes and sizes. This diversity in dinnerware easily complements the wide selection of chic, yet long-lasting tabletop for which Arc Cardinal is known, such as the Chef & Sommelier Sequence Collection made of resilient Krysta crystalline glass and barware designed by leading mixologists. 

As a key component of the Arc International global portfolio, Arc Cardinal is part of the largest tableware company in the world. With production facilities in France, the United States, China, Russia and the United Arab Emirates, Arc International provides tableware on a truly global scale. Their mission is to set new standards of excellence through innovative product design, technological advancement, global teamwork and extraordinary customer service.
