Factory-direct OEM & ODM export solutions.
Navigating technical specifications, material density, health safety compliance, and supply chain logistics for Canadian restaurant groups, hotel chains, and retail buyers.
For procurement directors managing Canadian commercial dining groups, boutique resort chains, or national department store retail brands (such as Hudson’s Bay or Canadian Tire suppliers), ordering ceramic tableware is not merely an aesthetic choice. It is an operational engineering decision. The Canadian climate, high-intensity commercial dishwashing cycles, strict food contact regulations under Health Canada’s Consumer Product Safety Act, and demanding culinary environments require stoneware that combines thermal shock tolerance with absolute chemical stability.
As a specialized Stoneware Crockery Factory & Direct Exporter operating from our 10,000 sqm production facility in Samut Sakhon, Thailand, ARTWAY Company Limited provides Canadian enterprise partners with factory-direct OEM/ODM capabilities, bridging artisanal design with industrial-grade mechanical strength.
From high-volume bistro operations in Toronto to luxury mountain lodges in Banff and coastal dining in Vancouver, our stoneware is custom-engineered for Canada's distinct commercial applications.
Commercial kitchens in Canada's dense metropolitan areas face fast-paced table turns. Our heavy-duty grey and reactive glazed stoneware plates are engineered with reinforced rim geometry. Tested to withstand over 2,500 high-temperature commercial dishwashing cycles, preventing edge chipping and glaze micro-crazing under daily sanitization chemicals.
In regions like Alberta, Quebec, and British Columbia, cold storage outdoor catering and winter patio heating lamps expose tableware to extreme temperature gradients. Our high-fired vitrified stoneware features a low thermal expansion coefficient (<4.5 x 10^-6 /°C), ensuring immunity to thermal shock fractures when moving from freezing prep stations to 200°C holding ovens.
Canadian consumers prefer organic, rustic aesthetics reflecting natural landscapes. Our custom reactive crackle glazes and matte earthy stoneware bowls provide unique tactile dining experiences for eco-resorts in Banff, Whistler, and Prince Edward County. Each piece carries an artisanal variation while retaining standard dimensional stackability.
With custom OEM drop-testing packaging, barcoding, and ISTA-certified master cartons, our 16-piece luxury stoneware dinnerware sets are delivered direct to Canadian retail distribution hubs (Vancouver & Halifax ports), fully optimized for immediate Amazon Canada, Wayfair, or brick-and-mortar shelf placement.
Understanding macro supply chain shifts, sustainability mandates, and trade agreements impacting Canadian imports.
Canadian importers are actively diversifying away from East Asian supply chain single-sourcing to mitigate geopolitical tariffs and freight disruptions. Thailand’s long-standing ceramic heritage, combined with competitive Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) tariff rates under CBSA guidelines, positions ARTWAY Thailand as an advantageous, reliable production hub.
Unlike cheap porous earthenware that absorbs moisture and cracks in commercial microwaves, Canadian hospitality groups demand non-porous stoneware (<0.5% water absorption rate). Vitrified stoneware prevents bacterial growth, complies with strict food hygiene codes, and dramatically lowers replacement frequencies.

Located in Samut Sakhon, Thailand, our state-of-the-art manufacturing plant operates continuous shuttle kilns and automated glaze application lines, supporting a yearly export output exceeding 5,000,000 pieces.
Our dedicated ceramic design team works directly with Canadian client briefs. We offer 3D rendering and physical pre-production sample molding within 14 business days, guaranteeing design accuracy before full-scale manufacturing.
Unlike inflexible state suppliers, ARTWAY accommodates low Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ) tailored for mid-sized Canadian distributors, offering custom retail color boxes, palletization, and direct FCL/LCL ocean shipping to Vancouver, Montreal, or Toronto.
Everything you need to know regarding compliance, tariffs, custom OEM branding, and shipping logistics from Thailand to Canada.
A: All ARTWAY stoneware products are manufactured using non-toxic, lead-free, and cadmium-free glaze formulations. We perform routine laboratory leachability testing in compliance with Health Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (Glazed Ceramics and Glassware Regulations) as well as US FDA CPG 7117.06/07 standards. Full laboratory analysis certificates are provided with each export bill of lading.
A: Stoneware tableware imported into Canada from Thailand falls under HS Code 6912.00.10 (Ceramic tableware, kitchenware, other household articles of stoneware). Under Canada’s Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) tariff schedule administered by CBSA, Thailand-origin stoneware enjoys competitive preferential duty treatment compared to alternate regions subject to punitive trade surcharges.
A: Ocean freight shipments depart from Laem Chabang Port (Thailand). Transit time to the Port of Vancouver (West Coast) is approximately 18 to 22 days. Transcontinental rail-linked shipments to the Port of Montreal or Toronto intermodal terminals typically take 28 to 35 days total transit. We handle full FOB, CIF, or DDP incoterms depending on your logistics requirements.
A: Yes. As a complete custom ceramic OEM/ODM factory, we provide high-temperature underglaze logo stamping, custom reactive glaze development to match Pantone brand guidelines, custom clay body formulation, and proprietary mold carving for signature plate shapes.
A: Custom physical pre-production samples are completed within 10 to 14 days after CAD design approval. Once samples are confirmed, mass production lead time is approximately 35 to 45 days, depending on order volume and glaze complexity.
