Expertise

Pillivuyt has been preserving the incomparable know-how of its master porcelain makers for over 200 years.

Instinctively innovative, we are always looking to improve the quality of our products. In 2004 and with the collaboration of Imerys Tableware, we have made changes in the composition of the porcelain paste by adding tiny particles of a special component, which has taken the strength of the product to new heights.

The new Pillenium clay mix allows us to manufacture thinner porcelain items, more resistant to thermal and mechanical shocks than the items made with "classical" clay mix.

Pillenium presents many advantages for restaurateurs and the catering industry :
- Gain in thermal resistance +117%*
- Gain in mechanical resistance +250%* on bottom and +240%* on rim.
(* Tests carried out by the SFC – Société Française de Céramique - on plates Sancerre 315  manufactured in Pillenium versus traditional Pillivuyt clay mix)

In addition, our laboratory carries out ongoing research on our products :
- To improve the current products
- To develop new products.

Quality, expertise and innovation are at the heart of the success of Pillivuyt for nearly 200 years.
