Community Plate was founded in 1899 using the "Community Plate" mark, and have a very extensive and unusual beginnings. In 1880, the Oneida Community voted to transfer much of the common property to a joint-stock company to be known as Oneida Community Ltd.  Oneida Community purchased the Wm A. Rogers and 1881 Rogers companies in 1929 and started producing a line of products using those companies' marks.  In 1935, Oneida Community changed its name to Oneida Ltd.  They have been through good times and very hard times, including filing bankruptcy in 2006. However, through many mergers, acquisitions, buyouts and plant closings, they managed to stay in business. In 2011 Oneida Limited was acquired by Monomoy Capital Partners a venture capital firm that the following year merged Oneida with Anchor Hocking and created EveryWare Global. EveryWare Global was renamed The Oneida Group in 2017. Today they manufacture both consumer goods with brands such as: Oneida, Westminster and Stanley Rogers, as well as those for the food service industry which include: Schonwald, Sant'Andrea, Oneida, and Buffalo.
