The company, based in New Castle, Pennsylvania, continued operations until 1991 when it finally closed its doors. From 1909 to 1936, the company focused on commercial china for use in restaurants, hotels and large institutions. It wasn't until 1936, when Theodore Haviland, of Haviland and Co., broke away from the family company to begin producing his own china that he contacted Shenango China to manufacture Haviland-designed china and patterns for dishware, now highly collectible.
