Home » About OneidaAbout OneidaOneida is the world's largest cutlery company, offering a complete range of cutlery products under a range of internationally famous brand names. The company originated in a utopian community in New York State established in the mid-nineteenth century, and has had a strong reputation for quality since that time. The old Oneida Community was a religious and social society founded in Oneida, New York, in 1848 by John Humphrey Noyes and his followers. In the beginning, most of them were Vermonters, almost all were New Englanders. The Community was founded on Noyes' theology of Perfectionism, a form of Christianity with two basic values; self-perfection and communalism. These ideals were translated into everyday life through shared property and work. Noyes' solution was a society where the interest of one member became the interest of all - the enlargement of the family. They called themselves Perfectionists and, being logical and literal, they proceeded to substitute for the small unit of home and family and individual possessions, the larger unit of group-family and group-family life. The Oneida Community canned fruits and vegetables; they made traps and chains; they made traveling bags and straw hats and mop sticks and sewing silk and, last of all, they found out how to make silver knives and forks and spoons. Oneida made its first sales in the UK market in 1911; factories were established in Sheffield and Ireland in the mid 1920s producing silver-plate and stainless steel cutlery. Since the 1980s, Oneida has produced and marketed a complete range of products, opened factory outlet stores across the UK and generated strong Foodservice sales. Oneida Ltd acquired Viners of Sheffield in 2001. Our brands
