General information about the swedish glass manufacturers |
In the 1990′s there was a strong concentration within the glas works resulting in just
a few remaining independent companies. Nowadays there are luckily again some new glass works
coming into the market, which do improve the diversification and individuality of glass design.
Still, since 2015 other known companies like Johanfors or Lindhammar were shut down for good.
Even the formerly dominating "Orrefors KostaBoda" group has closed several of its factories
or maintains only shops at former production sites:
| Company |
