Smelling good was never so safe
Moving to the East
The original moulds for
Koen
de Winter's white porcelain tableware were produced in Quebec, however
the cost to produce large quantities of the line took the manufacturing
process to China where there was a good source of white Kaolin clay
and under-utilized factory equipment.
Imported Talent
Koen de Winter worked for VOLVO in Sweden in the early 70s, and then
moved to Holland to head up the design and development department
of Mepalservice, a producer of plastic dishware and food and juice
containers. His work caught the eye of Danesco, Canadian importers
of Mepalservice products, and De Winter was quickly persuaded to
immigrate
to Montreal to become the firm's design director. |
