For countless people around the world, the name Villeroy & Boch is synonymous with high-quality porcelain, glassware and cutlery. The company, which was already operating in Lorraine and Luxembourg in the mid-18th century, expanded increasingly and now has its headquarters in Mettlach in the Saarland. Villeroy & Boch is thus one of the German companies with a considerable tradition, whereby the fine and durable porcelain quickly made its triumphal march from France and Germany across Europe.
