At Core Catering Supplies, we’ve always championed products that blend functionality with refined design, and HEPP’s PVD‑coated cutlery is a perfect example of this ethos in action. Whether you’re outfitting a boutique hotel restaurant or a high‑turnover dining room, the right finish can elevate the guest experience, and HEPP’s PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coatings are crafted specifically to do just that.
What Makes PVD Special?
PVD coating is a cutting‑edge finishing technique that bonds a highly durable, visually expressive surface to cutlery and tabletop items. Unlike traditional plating or painting, PVD creates a resistant surface layer with excellent scratch, wear, and corrosion resistance – ideal for environments where items are in daily use and machine-washed.
HEPP currently offers five elegant PVD colour variants:
Gold
Pale Gold
Copper
Gun Metal
Black
Each colour brings its own character to the table, from striking and premium to subtle and contemporary.
Which HEPP Ranges Come in PVD Finishes?
While HEPP produces a broad portfolio of classic and modern cutlery collections, several key ranges are available with PVD finishes, either from stock or on order with standard lead times:
CARLTON
With soft, rounded contours and a timeless presence, the CARLTON range features options like PVD Gold and PVD Gun Metal Brushed, allowing you to match sophistication with personality in fine‑dining setups.
PROFILE
Known for its minimalist and modern design language, PROFILE is available in PVD Copper, PVD Black, and PVD Gold, making it a versatile choice for both classic and contemporary table concepts.
MEDAN
A refined range with gently rounded shapes, MEDAN has also been featured with PVD Copper Brushed and PVD Gun Metal Stonewashed finishes for a more textured, expressive look.
CHIPPENDALE
Although traditionally known for classic silver‑plated looks, HEPP’s PVD offerings in this range include PVD Gold and PVD Black Stonewashed options, ideal for creating contrast or dramatic table aesthetics.
ECCO
A versatile and durable collection, ECCO is now available in Stonewashed and Black PVD finishes. Its clean lines and reliable form make it ideal for high‑turnover hospitality environments seeking a modern yet classic presentation.

Mix & Match: Cross Finishes and Custom Options
In addition to standalone PVD colours, HEPP also allows cross finishes, combining PVD coating with surface treatments like stonewashing, brushing, or glass bead blasting, which can further enhance texture and depth. This gives hoteliers and restaurateurs even more creative freedom when designing distinctive table settings.
What This Means For You
For hospitality professionals, PVD coating isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about durability, design flexibility, and guest experience. HEPP’s expanded PVD programme extends these benefits across popular collections, so you can confidently specify items that look exceptional and stand up to daily use.
