Dibbern

COMPANY HISTORY

In the mid-1960s, Bernd T. Dibbern laid the foundation for the position DIBBERN enjoys in the market today as manufacturer and supplier of fine tableware lifestyle products of the highest quality in a classic, timeless design. Back then, the first collection of china, glass and cutlery products was created from own in-house designs and manufactured exclusively in Europe. The final breakthrough for Dibbern to secure a name as a top lifestyle brand came in the 1980s with the successful china series Solid Color: The multiple award-winning, pure style originates from the 1930s. No fewer than 50 contemporary colours provide a whole host of combinations to suit each and everyone’s taste. The most significant step in the company’s history was the re-opening of Germany’s first private china factory in 1997, which was founded in Hohenberg in Bavaria in 1814 by C.M. Hutschenreuther. In our factory in Hohenberg/ Bavaria, our Fine Bone China plates are still traditionally turned by hand and not statically pressed like most industrial mass products. The glasses produced for DIBBERN are both mouth-blown and hand-cut and manufactured exclusively in Europe.
