We're proud to announce a new strategic collaboration with Anfora, the North American manufacturer of fully vitrified porcelain dinnerware for professional foodservice. Under this new agreement, Drinique will provide importing, stocking, and marketing support for Anfora across the United States — bringing faster lead times, broader product availability, and stronger day-to-day service to U.S. foodservice operators.
What This Means for Our Customers
Inventory will be held at Drinique's new facility in Phoenix, Arizona, dramatically shortening replenishment cycles and improving ground reach across the country. Through Drinique's established national network of independent sales representatives and distributors, the U.S. market will gain wider access to Anfora's full portfolio — the same craftsmanship that has defined the brand for more than a century, now backed by the speed and consistency American operators expect.
In short: more product, closer to you, ready when you need it.
A Shared Vision for Hospitality
For over 100 years, Anfora has manufactured vitrified porcelain dinnerware in Pachuca, Hidalgo, blending Mexican craftsmanship with German ceramic technology. Their high-fired, alumina-reinforced tableware is engineered for the demands of professional kitchens — durable, food-safe, and consistent across every service.
That commitment to quality is exactly what drew us to this partnership.
"Anfora's craftsmanship and manufacturing discipline are a strong fit with our portfolio and the standards our customers expect. Following our recent acquisition of Orion Trading, Anfora's world-class dinnerware solidifies our mission to lead the hospitality industry through innovation, quality, and fresh ideas." — Andrew Elliott, CEO of Drinique
"This team up allows us to continue to showcase the incredible heritage of the Anfora brand and introduce exciting new products. Over the summer, we will be building up stock to better serve the U.S. market with the speed and consistency our customers desire. We're excited to share a common vision between both companies, leveraging operational depth and sales networks to scale efficiently. This strengthens our ability to support existing distributors, national accounts, and operators across the country." — Hans Kritzler, CEO of Anfora
What's Next
Over the coming months, we'll be working closely with Anfora to build up stock levels at our Phoenix warehouse and ensure a smooth transition for distributors and end users alike. Anfora remains fully committed to its core network of U.S. partners and distributors who share high standards for quality and customer-focused service — and through Drinique's infrastructure, that network is about to get a whole lot more responsive.
Stay tuned for new product introductions, expanded availability, and the next chapter of two brands that believe great hospitality starts with great tableware.
