Collection Overview
TuxCare is Tuxton's dedicated healthcare dinnerware line — purpose-built for the unique demands of hospitals, assisted living facilities, retirement communities, and long-term care settings.

"With the extensive selection of quality accessories for our healthcare customers, there is no need to look any further than Tuxton."
Target Segment
- Hospitals — patient tray lines, cafeterias, staff dining
- Assisted Living & Memory Care — residential dining programs, color-code friendly options
- Senior Living / Retirement Communities — upscale dining room programs (Concentrix colors add warmth)
- Long-Term Care / SNF — durable, low-maintenance, dishwasher-proof solutions
- Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) — programs that demand warranty-backed, spec-approved products
Sales Tactics & Tips
- Lead with the lifetime chip warranty — healthcare buyers are cost-conscious; a warranty-backed product significantly reduces lifetime cost vs. unwarranted alternatives. Frame it as an ROI conversation, not a price conversation.
- Sell the compartment plates hard — BEA-090A (3-compartment coupe, 9") and BEA-0747 (hospital entrée plate, 7½") are unique healthcare-specific SKUs. If a prospect is buying compartment plates elsewhere, this is an easy swap.
- Use color coding as a door opener — many healthcare facilities use colored dishware to flag dietary restrictions or allergen protocols. The 9-color Concentrix line is a direct solution to this need.
- Bundle accessories with dinnerware — tray creamers, sugar packet holders, teapots, and bouillons are easy add-ons once the plate program is sold.
- Highlight the warranty in writing — healthcare procurement often goes through compliance or materials management. A documented lifetime edge chip warranty is a differentiator that can influence formal bid decisions.
- Match the program to the facility type — suggest Concentrix (colorful) for assisted living/memory care where a homelike feel matters; Porcelain White (Alaska, Sonoma, Chicago) for clinical hospital settings; Eggshell (Meridian, Monterey, Nevada) for a softer look in senior dining.
