Our hard porcelain is known for its exceptional break resistance and durability in everyday use. All products are regularly inspected and meet applicable European food safety requirements. You can rest assured that our porcelain is safe for daily use.

 

100% Made in Eastern Bavaria, Germany

Seltmann Weiden manufactures entirely in Eastern Bavaria, from the first production step to the finished porcelain. This ensures the highest quality, short delivery routes, and full control over the entire production process.

 

A Family-Owned Company with a Sense of Responsibility

As a family-owned company with a long tradition, we combine reliability and consistency with innovation and state-of-the-art technology. Our values are reflected in every single piece.

 

Tested Safety

In manufacturing, we rely on strictly controlled materials and processes. All products meet applicable legal requirements, and in many areas, they exceed them. You can rest assured that our porcelain is perfectly suited for daily use.

 

Natural Raw Materials for Superior Quality
Our porcelain is made of 50% kaolin, 25% quartz, and 25% feldspar: natural, carefully selected raw materials for optimal processing and stability. Careful selection and regular testing ensure high quality and consistent processing.

 

Durable and Robust

Our porcelain is fired at very high temperatures (1000°C and 1450°C), making it exceptionally resistant and long-lasting. The hard glaze protects against scratches, and the high material density provides break resistance, making it ideal for everyday use and the foodservice industry.

 

Exceptional Hardness, Scratch Resistance, and Break Resistance
The hard glaze protects against scratches from knives and cutlery, while the material's high stability prevents breakage and chipping. This makes it ideal for daily use at home, in communal catering, or in the foodservice industry.

 

Fine Details for Superior Functionality
Our foot rings are ground and polished with diamonds so they don't leave metal marks on other dishware while ensuring a stable stand. Plate surfaces are perfectly flat, so they don't wobble and stack perfectly. These refined finishing steps prevent abrasion and ensure optimal stackability. Every detail contributes to outstanding everyday practicality.

 

Made in Germany: A Promise of Quality
For us, "Made in Germany" stands for seamless production controls, the highest manufacturing standards, and transparent production processes. You can rely on every single piece of Seltmann Weiden porcelain.

Be Cautious with Low-Priced Imported Porcelain. Quality Standards Matter for Worry-Free Enjoyment.

Many products that are offered at low prices come from overseas. They often rely on lower-quality materials and less rigorous quality controls. Such products also fall short of the hardness, break resistance, and durability of our German hard porcelain.

 

Even supposedly premium products sourced from outside suppliers rarely meet our high standards. With imported goods, transparency, sustainability, and fair working conditions are often not guaranteed.

 

Our products are made from carefully tested materials using controlled processes. They not only comply with all legal requirements but exceed them in many areas, so you can rest assured that our porcelain is ideal for daily use.

 

Notes from the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment on Heavy Metals

The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) points out that ceramic and earthenware tableware can release heavy metals that are harmful to health, such as lead, cadmium, and cobalt. This is especially true when glazes are improperly applied or the workmanship is poor. Low-cost imports often put more emphasis on appearance than on consumer protection.

 

You'll find more details and recommendations here:
https://www.bfr.bund.de/en/ 

  • Unprotected or poorly applied glazes can release heavy metals, which can be harmful to your health over time.
  • Heavy metals can leach out of low-quality dishware.
  • The quality of the glaze determines safety.
  • Origin and production methods are critical.
  • Cheap goods are often visually appealing but questionable when it comes to safety.
  • Consumers should look for tested products.

 

Our Approach at Seltmann Weiden

We manufacture 100% in Germany, use tested materials, and rigorously inspect every batch. This is how we ensure that our porcelain poses no health risks.

 

Our Tip!

When buying porcelain, whether for personal or business use, and the next time you dine out, look for tested "Made in Germany" quality with fully German production or independent certification marks. That way, you can enjoy your meals safely and worry-free.

DAS SAGEN UNSERE KUNDEN ÜBER DIE ZUSAMMENARBEIT

Die optimale Beratung jedes Kunden während des Projektes, das offene Ohr über die Projektdauer hinaus sowie der effiziente und beidseitige erfolgreiche Projektabschluss liegen uns und unseren Mitarbeitern am Herzen. 

"Seltmann Weiden steht für „Made in Germany“ und nachhaltige Produktion – Werte, die auch wir im Diakonie Klinikum teilen. Die langjährige Partnerschaft basiert auf Qualität, Preisstabilität und exzellenter Kundenbetreuung. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die vertrauensvolle Zusammenarbeit mit Systemberater Herr Wagner. Während der Coronakrise haben wir die Flexibilität und den schnellen Service von Seltmann Weiden besonders geschätzt."

"Seltmann Weiden überzeugt mit langjähriger Erfahrung und einem starken Netzwerk in der Porzellanbranche ... Die fachkundige Beratung bringt wertvolles Wissen ein, wodurch neue Ideen und optimale Lösungen entstehen. Besonders schätze ich die schnelle Abwicklung und die Möglichkeit, individuelle Designs umzusetzen."

"...Gerade in den heutigen Zeiten ist ein gutes Netzwerk wichtig, um den sich schnell ändernden Anforderungen des Versorgungsalltags gerecht zu werden. … Die Firma Seltmann Weiden ist für uns ein langjähriger Partner, dessen Angebot, Produktqualität und Betreuung ein wichtiger Bestandteil unseres Netzwerks sind."

"Der Austausch zwischen dem Fachberater von Seltmann Weiden und dem eigenen Haus, mit den jeweils eigenen Interessen, war sehr wichtig, um das bestmögliche Porzellanprodukt für den jeweiligen Verwendungszweck (Frühstück, Mittag-/Abendessen, Snack) zu finden."

"Unsere Planungen haben sich bezahlt gemacht. Wir sind sehr zufrieden und positiv gestimmt, gerade weil sehr wenig Porzellan zu Bruch geht. Durch den Einsatz von Stationsküchen wird auch der Geschirrtourismus im Krankenhaus auf ein Minimum reduziert."

"Die Rückmeldungen von Patienten und Mitarbeitern sind durchweg positiv. Alle finden das Porzellan optisch sehr ansprechend, eben nicht standardmäßiges Krankenhausgeschirr. Dies war u. a. auch unser erklärtes Ziel, uns vom Standard abzuheben und einen höherwertigen gastronomischen Anspruch an den Tag zu legen."

Training Kickoff for Five New Apprentices at SELTMANN WEIDEN

A new chapter begins: On September 1, 2025, five motivated young talents started their apprenticeships at SELTMANN WEIDEN. Four are based in Weiden, and one in Erbendorf. With a total of 25 apprentices now in training, the traditional company is sending a clear signal: it continues to invest in the future of the region.

The new apprentices are starting in three different professions: two industrial clerks, two electronics technicians for industrial engineering, and one industrial mechanic for maintenance. Over the next few years, they will gain practical experience in various departments and build valuable skills for their future careers.

Supporting young talent is a top priority at SELTMANN WEIDEN. Experienced professionals as well as mentors from higher apprenticeship years guide and support the newcomers to ensure a strong start to their working lives.
