Our Story
Coming from a modest tableware store opened with the desire to beautify living spaces in 1976, we now bring the purest materials to your homes by designing them in the most aesthetic forms as one of the world's best renowned porcelain manufacturers.
In 1984 the brand started its production to meet the increased demand of hospitality and catering industries. We began manufacturing in 1992 and established our first production facility in Gebze, Turkey. In order to meet the increasing domestic and international demand, we made a drastic expansion in 1996 and launched our Bilecik facility.
Currently at Porland we produce approximately 70 million pieces per year, and our production facilities are established on an area of 300 thousand square meters in Bilecik and 10 thousand square meters in Gebze, Turkey. With these combined facilities we serve the needs of our brand, from engineering, visual displays to decal manufacturing, molding and casting.

If you take notice, our brand logo is a ballerina captured in between 2 toughest moves. We believe art of manufacturing porcelain just like the art of ballet, requires determination, discipline, and devotion.
