History edit

 
The entrance to Dale Hall Works in 1984.

Steelite International plc was established in 1983, when David Edward Dunn Johnson bought the hotelware division of Royal Doulton.[4][5]

The company operates from Dale Hall Works and the adjacent Albany Works.[4] Dale Hall Works was founded in 1790; from about 1937 to about 1998 it was operated by Dunn Bennett & Co Ltd (a company established in 1876 in Hanley), then by Steelite International.[6][7]

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 Fiesta retail line was not part of the sale and will continue to be manufactured at the existing plant in Newell, West Virginia, US.[8]
