PROFILE |
 |
Waterford Wedgwood is toasting (gently) its position as the world's premier maker of luxury crystal and fine china. The company's Waterford Crystal Group produces handcrafted crystal stemware, lamps, and giftware under the Waterford and Stuart brands. The Wedgwood Group makes fine bone china giftware and tableware under the Wedgwood brand. The company owns German ceramics makers Rosenthal (85% stake, and it has offered to buy the rest) and Hutschenreuther. In the US, it owns premium cookware maker All-Clad. Waterford Wedgwood also licenses its brands for non-crystal products such as linens and tea. Chairman Tony O'Reilly and his brother-in-law, deputy chairman Peter Goulandris, control about 25% of the company.
