Villeroy & Boch

Villeroy & Boch, founded in 1748, is a renowned name in ceramics and tableware, with a legacy spanning over 270 years. The company began in Lorraine, France, when François Boch established a small pottery workshop with his sons. Simultaneously, Nicolas Villeroy founded his own ceramics business in Germany. In 1836, the two companies merged, creating one of the first global brands in the ceramics industry.

Throughout the 19th century, Villeroy & Boch became known for innovation and quality, introducing iconic products like Mettlach tiles and popularizing the use of ceramics in everyday life.
