Dutch term or phrase: mastiek

An events company is giving a quotation to a customer for holding their event. The quotation gives a price breakdown for all the different cost elements. So, the price is given for personeelskosten, dranken, transport, catering etc.

One of the items is "mastiek". Does anyone know what they mean by this?

tableware

Explanation:
"tableware" is meestal alleen borden, schalen e.d., maar ik vond ook voorbeelden van een meer uitgebreide betekenis: "tableware consists of plates, napkins and table cloths. ..."

masts

Explanation:
Could this be a typo, as mastic would not be appropriate in the context of an event but perhaps masts (for company flags etc) might fit.

Thanks Paul, You\'ve given me a lead and that is that Mastiek is \"crockery\"

The website belows states \" Indien gewenst inclusief de benodigde materialen, zoals meubilair, schalen, bestek, mastiek, glaswerk en keukenapparatuur\"
The only thing not listed are \"borden\" = mastiek
