Steelite International plc was established in 1983, when David Edward Dunn Johnson bought the hotelware division of
Royal Doulton. The company operates from Dalehall Works and the adjacent Albany Works. In March 2020, the food service divisions of the
Homer Laughlin China Company and its sister company, the Hall China Company, were acquired by Steelite. The former Homer Laughlin and Hall China manufacturing operations were subsequently renamed The Fiesta Tableware Company. Homer Laughlin's
Fiestaware retail line was not part of the sale and will continue to be manufactured at the existing plant in
Newell, West Virginia, US. ==References==
