Santa Anita has been a leading Mexican-made brand of stoneware products for over 30 years. Specializing in creating functional and durable stoneware pieces that are designed for foodservice and offering products of the highest quality, authentic designs & color.
“It made sense to partner with Arc Cardinal to introduce the Santa Anita brand to the US and Canadian markets,” said Felix Martinez, Director of International Sales at Santa Anita. “Their strong distribution network and presence throughout North America provides the brand the proper channels to grow and showcase the collections to many restaurants and concepts.”
The collections within Santa Anita were designed with the guest experience in mind. The concept immerses guests into the dining experience focusing around shared plates and conversation. Featuring a mix of sizes and materials, the Santa Anita brand can be found in a variety of restaurant styles beautifully complementing various menus. The new collections feature thirteen shapes in three colors including coupe plates, walled plates, oval platters, bowls and mugs.
“Along with the introduction of Santa Anita is the launch of a new concept, “Inspire. Create. Plate.
A Canvas for Chefs” said Nichole Vanderhoof, Vice President of Marketing at Arc Cardinal. “The new dinnerware launch is coupled with additional new items within Arc Cardinal’s Arcoroc brand. These items include wood boards and metalware, designed to seamlessly complement Santa Anita. This concept is focused around chefs’ creativity, connection and shared plates. Sharing meals and small plates is the perfect way to experience a variety of foods and inspire a global experience on a local level”. Whether it’s tapas, mezze, dim sum, banchan, or other styles of small plates Santa Anita fits perfectly with any cuisine or menu. The collection allows chefs to showcase their creativity and use the plates as a beautiful canvas.
