YOUNGSTOWN, OH, UNITED STATES, May 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Global Tableware Collective (GTC), a premier curator of contemporary tabletop brands from around the world, today announced a new strategic partnership with NARUMI, a respected producer of fine bone china tableware for the hospitality industry. Under the agreement, GTC will serve as the official U.S. distributor for the hospitality market, expanding access to NARUMI’s refined collections for chefs, hotels, and restaurants across the United States.

For more than 50 years, NARUMI has supplied tableware to hospitality professionals who prioritize reliability, consistency, and elevated design. Through this partnership, NARUMI’s distinctive bone china collections will now be available nationwide through Global Tableware Collective’s established U.S. distribution network and hospitality-focused sales team.

“This partnership reflects a shared dedication to craftsmanship, performance, and thoughtful design for the hospitality industry,” said Dino Mitsos, VP and General Manager, Global Tableware Collective. “NARUMI has built a strong global reputation for quality bone china, and we are excited to introduce these collections to more hospitality professionals throughout the U.S.”

Founded in 1946, NARUMI emerged with a mission to create tableware that enriches the dining experience. At a time when bone china production was limited primarily to Europe and small-scale manufacturing in Japan, NARUMI took on the challenge of advancing the craft. In 1965, the company became the first manufacturer to successfully mass-produce bone china dinnerware in Japan, a milestone that helped establish its reputation for innovation and technical excellence.

“We believe that tableware is not just a tool — it is part of the dining experience,” said Toshinari Fukui, President of NARUMI. “Our mission is to support chefs and hospitality professionals by providing products that enhance presentation and performance. We are confident that Global Tableware Collective is our ideal partner in achieving this in the U.S. market.”

Today, NARUMI continues to be trusted by hotels, restaurants, and hospitality groups worldwide for its elegant design, durability, and consistent quality. By combining heritage craftsmanship with modern manufacturing expertise, the brand offers tableware solutions suited for both refined dining environments and high-volume service.
