Viners

Viners is a United Kingdom brand of cutlery, kitchenware and dinnerware products, founded in 1901 in Sheffield, England by Adolphe Viener and his sons. By the 1960s, it had expanded to subsidiaries in Ireland, Australia and France. In mid-2000, Oneida, of the United States, paid $25 million in cash for Viners [1] which was put into administration on 30 October 2014.[2] Merseyside-based Rayware, a privately owned housewares group, bought Viners out of administration for £1.6 million in November 2014[3] and in 2015 set about "reinvigorating the brand".[4]
