Founded in 1903, the Hall China Company began with three brick kilns, 38 potters, and Robert Hall’s dream of producing chinaware through the superior single-fire process. It was this single-fire process, which ensures a more durable, lead-free product, that helped establish Hall China as the market leader. Today, Hall China’s factory is an impressive 12 acres under one roof with 125 employees. Six computerized, fast-fire kilns use state-of-the-art technology that results in chinaware that is 32.2% stronger and uniform — piece after piece, year after year. In recent years, Hall China joined Homer Laughlin China under the HLC Inc. umbrella. In 2020, Steelite International and the Homer Laughlin China Company jointly announced Steelite’s acquisition of the Homer Laughlin China Company–Foodservice Division and the Hall China Company.
