A spark of good news for American manufacturing as Syracuse.com reports that Sherrill Manufacturing Inc., the silverware maker that took over the Oneida Ltd. factory after its closing nine years ago, has moved all of its manufacturing back from Mexico and more than doubled its workforce in upstate New York. Company CEO Gregory Owens told the publication that the company employs 42 people at the former Oneida silverware factory — 38 full-time employees and four permanent part-time workers. A year ago, it employed 16 full-time workers and, sporadically, a few part-time workers. Owens told Syracuse.com demand for the company's "Made in the USA" stainless steel tableware is so strong that the factory is now producing products every day. Last year, the company went through phases in which it would manufacture for a six-week period, then wait a couple of months before manufacturing for another six-week period, then start the process all over again. Owens said the company completed moving its government and contract manufacturing at a former Oneida Ltd. plant in Mexico to Sherill in June. The company currently offers its products on their website under the "Liberty Tabletop" brand.

In response to the popularity of its Farmhouse™ collection, Libbey® Foodservice is taking farm-to-table presentations to the next level by nearly doubling its selection of products. Dinnerware additions include select new accents offered in two colors at the very peak of today’s color trends, and new cream white bowls, a round platter and honey pot set that complete an organic, fresh atmosphere. In addition, the Farmhouse collection has expanded to the complete tabletop to include a line of flatware and glassware. “With the positive reception and customer feedback on our Farmhouse collection, we are responding to the demand for pieces that take the farm-to-table movement above and beyond what is expected,” said Susan J. Dountas, director of foodservice marketing for Libbey. “The invigorating, organic feel of these products empowers restaurants to showcase and differentiate their presentations of locally sourced, farm fresh creations.” Butter Yellow Plates and Blue Hen Bowl and Mug Color accent pieces create visual pop and add a unique charm to any tabletop. New Butter Yellow plates, available in a 12” and 6⅜” size, enhance any locally sourced cuisine. The Blue Hen mug and bowl add a unique, yet soft, charm to the rustic feel of Farmhouse. Mix these with Farmhouse’s original cream white line to create a special presentation. Bowls and Platter The new Farmhouse bowls and platter bring a mixture of shapes and sizes to the table, completing the natural, organic feel of the tabletop for shared plates. The serving and pasta bowls are perfect for pastas, entrée salads or family-style serving, and the round platter is great for presenting group appetizers or wood-fired pizza. Honey Pot The Farmhouse cream white honey pot set is ideal for establishments that pride themselves on locally made honey or crave a distinct way to serve jellies, jams or sugar. Flatware Farmhouse flatware embraces the charm of individuality that is so important to authentic, organic tabletops. The six different flatware items feature their own unique, but complementary, detailed and intentionally mismatched handles. Each piece is only available in its unique handle style and may not be ordered individually. In addition, each piece is treated to replicate the nostalgic appeal of natural wear. Glassware and Infusion Jar Coming later this summer, the new Farmhouse glassware and infusion jar feature a rooster in their design, finalizing the look of a country fresh tabletop. The glasses range from a 9-oz. juice to a 20-oz. cooler. The 1.85-gallon infusion jar has a stainless steel spigot, perfect for serving trendy, health-infused waters, juices and teas.
