| Gien Earthenware is without any doubt the most prestigious French manufacturer of earthenware. Its fame comes from flawless know-how, and from striving to blend craftsmanship and industrial processes, bringing tradition and creativity together. With this very philosophy, Mr. Louis Grandchamp and Mr. Bertrand Dambrine acquired this world-renowned factory in January of 2002. Under a new sales platform, they opened a new shop in Brussels in June of 2002, and remodelled the Paris shop. Gien's sales network enables exporting its products to over thirty countries, and thanks to it Gien reached a 45% export rate in 2002. |
