For generations, the Wegter family has been in the business of helping people celebrate and cherish the good things in life - precious moments of togetherness.
Frans Wegter opened a specialty household goods store in the Twente town of Delden in 1916. Frans was a respected and beloved businessman and had an innate sense of what his customers would like. Business was good and Frans began importing goods for other stores in the area.
In the 1950s, Frans' son Nico Wegter expanded further into wholesale and catering sales. Nico's sons, Marc and Frans, continued to expand the business, splitting it into two companies in 2004.
Wegter Brands, now run by Marc's son Guy, develops independent brands, including Maastricht Porselein, Palmer and Skottsberg, in addition to manufacturing and distributing kitchenware.
Today, Frans grandsons and great-grandchildren are just as passionate about creating moments that bring people together.
Everyone at Wegter, from our CEO, Guy, to Flobér our Data guru, Nick and Saskia from Accounts, and Marc and Barbara from E-Comm, is proud of the fact that Wegter Brands does more and goes beyond the average kitchenware supplier.

Guy and his team travel around the world to meet trusted factories and source the most attractive and innovative dinnerware. Whenever possible, we collaborate with
