Mase in Germany

Porcelain is an end product that gets its shape and stability from many different raw materials and very different manufacturing processes. German porcelain factories - like all other manufacturers - obtain their raw materials from the same sources and countries as most international brands and producers.

China (Kaolin & Clay)
India (Tone and others)
New Zealand (alumina, zirconia, etc.)
Thailand (feldspar and others)
Germany (Kaolin and others)
France (quartz, glazes, etc.)
Australia (Alumina)
amongst other things

The majority of the most important machine manufacturers - outside China - for porcelain production are owned by the Italian SACMI Group from Italy. Germany's largest supplier of the most important raw material for porcelain production - natural gas - is Russia. In our view, for that reason alone the term 'Made in Germany' is far less accurate than 'Assembled in Germany'. If the term "Germany" is used to refer to a real original origin, the following remain

German History/Chronicle
German headquarters 
German employees (partly)
German tax burden
German design
German quality management
