Porsgrund Porselen's Factory helps elevate the dining experience

The agreement also includes glassware from Hadeland Glassverk, which, together with porcelain from Porsgrunds Porselænsfabrik, will elevate the dining experiences at these prestigious events. At the Norwegian Championship, pieces from our beautiful Bølge dinnerware, with its elegant wave pattern, Natur Lys Granitt, which draws inspiration from natural elements, and Sense, known for its stylish design, are used. It is fantastic to see so many skilled chefs presenting their masterpieces on our plates. We are impressed by the level, quality, and creativity shown during the competition.

"NKL is pleased with the agreement's objective, which is to promote the parties' goals and values. At the same time, the parties shall be good ambassadors for each other, creating increased focus and attention on the culinary profession, NKL's activities, NKL's national competitions, and the Norwegian Culinary Teams in the world's largest cooking competitions. NKL looks forward to an exciting collaboration in the coming years," states NKL.
