Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Willow Tree Nursery in Bristol wanted to move away from plain, easily broken plastic plates for the children's mealtimes, seeking something safer and more engaging.
"We needed something safe, durable, and fun. The Fairground design melamine bowls were an instant hit with the kids, and they have survived countless drops onto our hard floors without a single chip. They still look brand new after months of use."
Ben Carter – Nursery Manager
This simple switch reduced their annual crockery replacement costs by over 80% and significantly brightened up the mealtime experience for the children.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Makes Melamine a Kitchen Hero?
Ever wondered why melamine is so popular in busy kitchens? Think of it like a super-tough, premium version of plastic. Unlike the standard stuff, it’s a 'thermoset' polymer, which means once it's moulded into a shape, it becomes incredibly rigid and heat-resistant (up to a point!). It gives you the attractive look and substantial feel of ceramic but with the resilience of a superhero's shield. That’s why these Olympia Kristallon melamine bowls can be dropped, scraped, and put through a commercial dishwasher day after day without chipping or shattering like traditional crockery would. It's smart, not just strong.
