Porcelana Schmidt was founded in 1945 the Schmidt family in Pomeroy, Santa Catarina.  They grew through several mergers and acquisitions including: Royal Porcelain, (acquired in 1948), Brazilian Ceramics in Campo Largo and Steatita Porcelain, (acquired in 1956).  They started importing to the USA in 1958.  In 1972 they merged all the companies together to form Porcelana Schmidt S/A.  Today they are the largest manufacturer in South America with 50% of the fine china tableware market in Brazil and exporting to the United States, Argentina, Italy and England.
