Herend Porcelain Manufactory
The Herend Porcelain Manufactory (Hungarian: Herendi Porcelánmanufaktúra Zrt.) is a Hungarian manufacturing company, specializing in luxury hand-painted and gilded porcelain. Founded in 1826, it is based in the town of Herend near the city of Veszprém.
In the mid-19th century, it was purveyor to the Habsburg dynasty and aristocratic customers throughout Europe. Many of its classic patterns are still in production.
After the fall of communism in Hungary, the factory was privatised and is now 75% owned by its management and workers. The factory exports to over 60 countries of the world, with its main markets being Italy, Germany, Russia, Japan and the United States.
