PROFILE |
 |
Noritake began dishing out china for export around the time of Commodore Perry's efforts to establish trade with Japan in the mid-1850s. Today the company's Tabletop Group (26% of sales) trades in dinnerware made of china, porcelain, stoneware, and earthenware; it also makes crystal stemware, glassware, and cutlery. Modern-day Noritake's largest unit is its Industrial Products Group (about 40% of sales), which makes grinding wheels and coated abrasives. The company's separate ceramics, electronics and engineering segments make such products as catalyst carriers, dental porcelain and metals, vacuum fluorescent displays, ceramic sewer pipes, and kilns. Noritake has factories around the globe.
