Today, the company's main target audience are five-star hotels and world-class restaurants offering experiential gastronomy. Many items within Zieher's product portfolio – which spans buffetware, catering equipment, serveware, glassware, barware and decorative accessories – are made from glass, stainless steel, slate and porcelain. It's thanks to these high-quality products that Zieher is internationally recognised and called upon by international hotel groups to supply executive suites, lounges and F&B spaces. As a company with the experience to put new ideas quickly into practice, Zieher continues to design and create high-grade product solutions for the hospitality sector. Launched in 2015, the Vision series comprises glassware that provides maximum aroma and optimum development of wine.
