About this Event

Join the Center for Family Business for an engaging discussion with Liz McIlvain, Maggie Kuntz and Matt Wicks, from The Fiesta Tableware Company!

The Fiesta Tableware Company is a renowned American ceramics manufacturer based in Newell, West Virginia. Established in 1871, the company is best known for its iconic Art Deco glazed dinnerware line, Fiesta®, which has been a beloved staple in homes for decades and is the last major manufacturer of dinnerware in the US. The company remains family-led, with Elizabeth “Liz” McIlvain serving as President and CEO and is the first female leader in its history of four generations of male leaders. Under her leadership, Fiesta Tableware has continued to thrive, celebrating milestones such as its 150th anniversary and the 85th anniversary of the Fiesta® brand.

This is a panel discussion with fourth generation Liz McIlvain and fifth generations Maggie Kuntz and Matt Wicks.

Lunch and networking will begin at 11:30 AM. Program begins at 12:00 PM.

For questions, please email [email protected] or call Laura Bonnet at 216-368-1701.
