Facts About Schott Zwiesel



Schott Zwiesel, the famed German producer based in one of the world's prime glass-manufacturing centers, has led the glass industry for more than 100 years. 

Schott Zwiesel (a brand of Zwiesel Kristallglas, AG) has a 130 year history of innovation and success, including such break through developments as the first machine made stemware and the first lead-free crystal glass.

With the introduction of the proprietary Tritan® Crystal technique (the result of special additives such as titanium with a unique tempering process) Zwiesel has once again revolutionized the industry.

The company has many industry "first" to its credit, including the first fully automated production of blown glass stemware in 1967.

In the 1990's as the industry struggled with the environmental issues of lead and heavy metals, the company was the first glass maker to produce lead-free crystal glass of superb quality and brilliance.

Its latest breakthrough is the patented Tritan technique for producing extra-strong crystalline stemware. The process combines a proprietary mix of materials with tempering of vulnerable points to create the most resilient fine stemware in the world.

Rigorous laboratory testing proves the brilliance, dishwasher safety, and break resistance of Tritan. We invite you to discover why we call our product “The World’s Best Crystal Glass”.
