Many of us in the kitchenware industry will have a good idea of the movers and shakers in the tableware industry, and vice versa. Often times, in fact, there’s a great deal of crossover between these two complementary worlds. Take Porland, for example: best known (at least in our circles) for its exquisite tableware, the company is taking the cookware space by storm with its Cookland collection, which launched two summers ago in 2023. It’s a natural move, really, and Porland is bringing its signature style and attention to detail to the kitchen - and perhaps beyond. As İmge Pamukçu, Porland Board Member tells us on page 18: “In line with our 2030 vision, we are taking decisive steps towards becoming not just a kitchenware manufacturer, but a lifestyle brand that redesigns the kitchen experience.”
Our cover this month has been taken over by Amefa’s Richardson Sheffield, a pioneering brand that stretches back to the industrial revolution in the heartland of Britain’s steel manufacturing region. Like Porland, Amefa is evolving the brand for modern consumers without losing sight of the heritage and foundation that makes it so successful more than 180 years after the first knife was forged. We caught up with with Suzanne Muller, Brand Manager, Richardson Sheffield, to learn more about its plans for the future - including a strategic move into kitchen gadgets for 2026. The team is staying tight-lipped for now, but Suzanne says the move “aims to strengthen its presence in the kitchenware market, catering to a broader audience seeking both functionality and design. This extension reflects our dedication to meeting evolving consumer needs while maintaining our reputation for quality and innovation”. Read all about it in our cover story on page 14.

another year of growth. Organised by BHETA, it’s been on a hot streak since the pandemic, with more buyers, more exhibitors, and more international interest year-on-year. Steve Richardson, the show’s Marketing Director shared what the team was particularly pleased with, and where they will look to refine things in the coming years. Turn to page 24 and discover why Steve and the team are “absolutely thrilled” with the show’s performance and why retailers say they love the event.
Another show is on the horizon, as Zuchex returns to Istanbul for its 35th anniversaryno mean feat in a era of show closures. The organisers tell us they have plenty lined up to celebrate, over on page 34, including a visual refresh and new opportunities for suppliers and buyers to connect. And not forgetting Maison&Objet, the bougiest show in town, which returns to Paris this September for another showcase of chic, design-led products. The show’s autumn edition will likely become the de facto for kitchenware professionals as it will now exclusively host the Cook & Share sector, which skips the January show. Learn what’s hot in Paris next month on page 32.
We also took a look at a number of product categories this month, from knives and utensils to bakeware and the growing number of businesses prioritising sustainability in their supply chains. That should be plenty to get stuck into until we return with a new buying cycle, a fresh batch of shows to attend and discover what suppliers have lined up for 2026 and beyond.

WHERE THE INDUSTRY CONNECTS AROUND INNOVATION AND INSPIRATION
“With The Inspired Home Show 2025 concluding with ove r 2,000 unique brands showcasing 300,000 products to attendees from 115 countries, we turn our attention to the 126th edition of the Show next March. Planning is underway with the expansion of special areas that debuted this year including the Pet Products and Candle Pavilions and the Travel Gear & Luggage Expo. Each of these areas give ret ailers expanded opportunities while complementing our existing and more traditional hous ewa res categories.
The biggest n ews though is that the Show day pattern will change to Tu esday, Wednesday and Thursday rather than over the weekend. Reaction has been overwhelmingly positive from both ret ailers and exhibitors as we embrace the cultural shift with the younger generation placing a higher value on a more “li fe, li fe, work” balance.
We look forward to seeing you in Chicago next March!”

Hot from the oven
Once the backbone of a simple, balanced diet, baking has evolved into an art form, a hobby and a lifestyle choice for many home cooks. Buoyed by a boom in baking during the pandemic lockdown, Claire Budgen, Commercial and Marketing Director, Lifetime Brands, says: “consumers are engaged and invested in home baking more than ever”.
The popularity of baking content on social media, and cultural exports like The Great British Bake Off across the globe, have placed baking in the spotlight, as consumers look to emulate the incredible cakes, pastries and breads they see daily across phone screens and televisions. But consumers are also seeking safe, sustainable products, says Claire.
“Growing environmental awareness also influences purchasing decisions,” she says. “Consumers are seeking out toxin-free, sustainable bakeware options. The demand for everyday items in a range of shapes and sizes remains high, but there’s also appetite for innovation.”
Lifetime Brands lifetimebrandseurope.com
Lifetime Brands is constantly innovating and recently launched a new silicone bakeware set which is a game changer for home bakers. Built for real kitchen versatility, it’s super non-stick and can go from freezer to oven, microwave to air fryer, and even into the dishwasher.
For both retailers and consumers, trust in the brand is also crucial. Lifetime Brands’ MasterClass brand has become the go-to bakeware brand. Its 1mm carbon steel bakeware is the thickest on the market and 100 per cent toxin free. With electroplated rust resistance and double-layer Quantum 2 non-stick coating it continues to deliver performance that stands out — backed by a lifetime guarantee.

Now the company is embarking on an exciting expansion journey to capture the global market, with high-impact moves

into new categories, the launch of a flagship store in London, and a forward-looking digital transformation programme.
The launch of the Cookland Series in 2023, a porcelain cookware collection, was the first step on this journey, bringing Porland’s research, design and
launch,” says İmge Pamukçu, Porland Board Member. “This versatility makes Cookland not only a kitchen appliance, but also a design marvel that adapts to customers’ lifestyles. The series, which has achieved phenomenal market performance, has made its mark in the last two years, recording steady growth across
Porland’s digital sales channels and stores. This success has made the collection an important component of our sustainable product portfolio and reinforced the brand’s credibility with consumers.”
Discover Cookland
The Cookland product range is divided into two distinct categories. The Cookland Induction line features a magnetic base coating, an elegant design feature that makes products compatible with modern induction hobs. Cookland Fire, meanwhile, is designed with more traditional gas, ceramic and electric hobs in mind. Both combine form and function to simplify cooking, serving and storage, designed with the ethos that “it’s not just cookware, it’s a lifestyle”.
“Cookland simplifies the user experience by offering multiple solutions with a single product,” explains Mr. Pamukçu. “While providing a seamless transition from oven to table, the lids can also be used as serving plates or presentation coasters, for example.
Its stackable structure also saves storage space.”
Each product is thermal shock resistant to temperature changes between -20°C and 280°C, features a scratch-resistant special glaze coating and surface, and is suitable for use from the hob to the microwave, and even the barbecue, for those with a passion for cooking outdoors.
“The choice of materials used in kitchens affects many factors, from food quality to energy efficiency,” explains Mr Pamukçu. “With half a century of porcelain production experience, we can say this clearly: porcelain has unique advantages over materials such as steel and ceramic in the cooking experience and distributes heat 40 percent more homogeneously than steel. This means that food cooks evenly without sticking to the bottom.”
The collection is available in a variety of attractive and modern colourways, complete with a minimalist pattern of lines that not only looks aesthetically pleasing, but draws attention to the
collection’s many functional details. It also ties neatly into Porland’s wider collection of tableware, glassware, textiles and more, part of a “kitchen to table” vision of providing a holistic experience that begins in the kitchen and culminates at the table. This is a philosophy that has made Porland a household name across the world, through a network of vital retail partnerships.
“Our retail partners serve as a critical bridge that strengthens Porland’s global presence and touches consumers,” says Mr Pamukçu. “We consider these partnerships as long-term collaborations and support them with sales support materials, instore layout consultancy, joint campaign planning and training. We carry out joint promotional activities to increase visibility on digital platforms and aim to deepen this cooperation with the concept stores we plan to open in Europe and the US.”
To that end, Porland entered the UK market earlier this year, and will use a new concept store in London to serve as a showcase not just of the brand’s latest and best-selling lines, but as a testament to the quality of Turkish porcelain. Visitors will be among the first to see the latest additions to the Cookland collection from Porland’s R&D Centre.
“We continuously improve all our products, especially the Cookland series, and offer innovations that will transform the kitchen experience,” says Mr Pamukçu. “The technologyoriented projects, new colour
and form alternatives that we will introduce to our users in the coming period will bring a breath of fresh air to the kitchen culture.

“In line with our 2030 vision, we are taking decisive steps towards
of becoming one of the top five players in the global kitchen equipment market, we will continue to prove the power of Turkish engineering and design to the world.”
“At Porland, we are at a new turning point where we will bring our half-century porcelain heritage together with the technologies of the future,” says İmge Pamukçu, Porland Board Member . “Our investments in digital transformation bring innovations that will be a first in the kitchen equipment sector. The ongoing smart factory transformation at our production facilities in Bilecik brings not only an increase in capacity but also a sustainability-oriented production philosophy. Thanks to our new fully automated lines, we aim to increase our production efficiency by 40 per cent while simultaneously increasing our wastewater recovery rate to 100 percent. This project will be an important step towards becoming Europe’s first ‘green porcelain plant.”

They are all made entirely in the Thiers (French capital of cutlery) workshops of La Maison Claude DOZORME.

sold out by January—a new record for us—and record re-bookings secured during the event for 2026. Visitor numbers continued to grow for the fourth consecutive year post-Covid, with international attendance up 5 per cent year-onyear.
We’ve also seen a significant increase in Wednesday footfall over the past two years, reflecting our efforts to balance visitor traffic across both days. Our Press & Influencer Event saw a remarkable 41 per cent rise in content creators attending, and our new HoReCa initiative was very well received, bringing fresh energy and increased engagement from the hospitality sector. All in all, it was a hugely successful show for everyone involved.
You and the organising team are not known for resting on your laurels. What aspects of the show are you looking to
refine and improve for next year’s edition?
For 2026, we’re focused on expanding our international reach even further. This year saw a 5 per cent rise in overseas visitors, and our dedicated International VIP Networking Evening proved a real highlight, drawing praise from major global retailers like Carrefour and heritage names such as Kustermann.
We’re exploring several exciting ideas to build on this momentum, and while nothing is ready to announce just yet, we’re confident in delivering even greater value for our international guests. In parallel, we’re also committed to growing our HoReCa initiative, which received a strong response this year from both visitors and exhibitors. Enhancing engagement from the hospitality sector will remain a key focus as we shape the 2026 edition of Exclusively.
The show is on a hot streak since Covid, why do you think Exclusively remains such a vibrant, important and wellattended show - especially
considering the ongoing headwinds in retail?
We believe Exclusively remains such a vibrant and important show—even in challenging times—because the housewares sector thrives on personal connection. It’s a community of approachable people who truly value faceto-face interaction.
Our visitors and exhibitors consistently tell us that the show delivers, with these being the key themes of our 2025 research: the show is efficient, productive, and exceptionally well organised. The curated, compact layout makes it easy to connect with the right people, and the atmosphere is always welcoming and full of positive energy. From our International VIP networking evening to our drinks reception, and from our travel support to our trend displays, we focus on creating an environment that supports genuine, meaningful engagement—and that’s what keeps people coming back year after year.
For those who have yet to attend the show - or perhaps missed this year’s eventwhy should they be lining up 2026’s edition in their diaries?
If you’re in the Housewares, Tabletop, or the Small Electricals space and haven’t experienced Exclusively yet—make 2026 your year. Taking place on 9–10 June at London’s Business Design Centre, it’s the perfect size to see all your key suppliers in just two days, all under one roof. With around 140 top-tier exhibitors, trend-led inspiration, and a brilliantly curated atmosphere, it’s efficient, energising, and unmissable.

The sustainable choice
How a product is made and what it’s made of have always been important for kitchenware brands, but mounting pressure to deliver sustainably sourced, produced and packaged goods has added a myriad of greater challenges - and opportunities - for suppliers
Like most other sectors, the kitchenware industry is grappling with adding and refining sustainable practices throughout its supply chain. It’s a tall task for manufacturing-intensive industries like kitchenware, particularly those operating at volume, with vast amounts of raw material processing, and within stringent food-safe health and safety directives. It’s nonetheless an important part of doing business in 2025, and kitchenware suppliers have taken to the task not just as a box-ticking exercise, but in the spirit of better business.
At Sambonet, sustainability has become an ethical imperative central to its production philosophy.
“Not only do we believe in the added value of products that guarantee health for the environment and for those who use them, but we believe that a company dedicated to sustainability in all aspects of the production cycle as well as in the way we live our daily working life makes the difference,” says Valentina Guatelli, Marketing Manager, Sambonet Paderno Industrie. This is a journey Sambonet
ha been on for more than a decade. The company has filed its sustainability report for the past 12 years, charting progress and developments across important sustainability issues, in addition to keeping up with ever-evolving regulatory pressures and directives. It continually invests in
a compromise, but a way of being, necessary, from which everything starts.”
Anand Baldawa, CEO of thinKitchen, believes investing in sustainability is important for long-term success: “In our view, consciously focussing on sustainability may take time,

research to ensure its practices go above and beyond, not just during procurement, manufacturing and shipping, but across the office life of staff and as a way to positively contribute to partners and suppliers.
“We are active in supporting the region and truly believe that this can and should make a difference,” Valentina says.
“Nothing is left to chance, everything is part of a vision and a way of understanding business that starts from the principle that sustainability is not a choice and even less
effort and possibly some additional cost in the short term, however these investments will eventually play out in the long run.”
The company uses solar energy for the majority of its electricity consumption, harvests rainwater for industrial use, moved from plastic to recyclable material packaging, and is currently exploring ways to introduce recycled stainless steel as a raw material for manufacturing activities. It all adds up to an impressive result that serves the business, he says: “We leverage
increases client satisfaction.”
But are consumers prioritising sustainability in their buying habits? Valentina says they are:
“When it comes to cooking and food contact, our consumers prioritise sustainability and the guarantee of safe cooking processes.
“They want products that deliver high performance while also ensuring reliability and a sense of responsibility. We are confident that the consumer can distinguish between brands that talk and active brands that act to make a difference.”
