About Merritt International

Merritt Designs is a family-owned tableware company with office and distribution facilities based in Sun Valley, a suburb of Los Angeles. Founded in 2005, the heartbeat of our manufacturing business has always been on product design. Merritt Designs prides itself on being a leader in the plastic tableware industry. Our company was one of the first to push the evolution of melamine from inexpensive, light-weight plastic plates to high-end, heavy-weight tableware that is both unbreakable and elegant. Our team has achieved this using innovative textures, intricate embossing, boutique shapes, and special glazes. The company stands apart from others with our proprietary technique of making plastic look and feel like something it's not: ceramic, pottery, stone, or wood. Merritt Designs is known for creating designs every year that "Wow" our customers who can't believe our dishes and drinkware are plastic. "I thought this was glass or ceramic," is the number one phrase we hear from consumers. With the trend of outdoor rooms now part of every home, discerning customers look to Merritt Designs to set a table that is decorative and inviting without the worry of breakage. We are proud that all of our products are 100% food-safe and BPA-free. It's our mission to remain on the forefront of the home and patio decor trends, producing tableware that is both functional for outdoor entertaining, while at the same time stylish enough for indoor use every day.
