A Century of Craftsmanship and Vision

With over 100 years of history, Herdmar stands among the world’s most respected cutlery producers. Based in Caldas das Taipas, Guimarães, in northern Portugal, this family-owned company is now led by the fourth generationof the Marques family. Despite its global reach—present in over 80 countries—Herdmar remains rooted in its tradition-rich region, where every piece is still crafted.

Producing an average of 30,000 pieces daily, with a dedicated team of 120 skilled professionals, Herdmar exemplifies a rare blend of heritage and forward-thinking design. Their guiding philosophy of “democratic design” aims to make high-quality, fashion-forward tableware accessible to all, transforming dining into an experience of style and sophistication.

Design Meets Purpose

More than just cutlery, each Herdmar piece tells a story—a celebration of form, function, and individuality. The brand views the dining table as a stage, and their products as fashion accessories designed to enhance every setting. With a wide variety of finishes, textures, and styles, their collections adapt seamlessly to contemporary lifestyles while honoring traditional values.

At the heart of Herdmar’s design ethos is a belief that tableware should evoke emotion, reflect personality, and celebrate moments. Their attention to detail and commitment to elegance ensures that every fork, knife, and spoon carries not just utility, but meaning.

Innovation Grounded in Tradition

Herdmar is distinguished not only by its aesthetic but also by its bold innovation. The company continuously explores new materials, technologies, and creative expressions to stay ahead of trends, all while maintaining the integrity of traditional craftsmanship. Their process is one of evolution—not disruption—carefully balancing the old with the new.

This approach allows Herdmar to produce cutlery that is not only timeless in appearance but also remarkable in quality and durability. Their strong commitment to environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and employee development further reflects their integrity as a brand.

By doing so, they have created a business ecosystem that thrives on mutual growth, shared values, and creative collaboration.
