"We were constantly replacing our old sugar holders. These Steelite ones are brilliant – they look the part, go straight in the dishwasher, and we haven't had a single chip in months. It's a small change that makes a big difference to our table presentation."
Robert Davies – General Manager
The bistro eliminated replacement costs for sugar caddies in the first six months and received positive customer comments on the improved table settings.

Explore more from SteeliteWhat Makes Alumina Vitrified Ceramic So Tough?
Ever wondered what 'vitrified ceramic' actually means? In simple terms, the ceramic is fired at an incredibly high temperature until the clay becomes glass-like and non-porous. This means it won’t absorb liquids, flavours, or odours, and it’s why it's so resistant to stains. The 'Alumina' part is the secret weapon; it’s an oxide (Aluminium Oxide) that's added to the clay mixture. Think of it like adding carbon fibre to a car chassis. This addition dramatically reinforces the material, making it exceptionally strong and resistant to chipping from everyday knocks and bumps. It’s this two-part process that creates a commercial porcelain sugar holder built for relentless daily use.
