About Duralex SCOP SA:
The history of Duralex is captivating and begins in 1927 in La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin, near Orléans. Originally founded to produce jars and glasses for the distillery, the company reached a turning point in 1934 when Saint-Gobain invented tempered glass, a revolutionary innovation that made glass unbreakable.
Since 1945, Duralex has been recognized for its tempered glass products, notably the iconic Gigogne and Picardie glasses, omnipresent in French canteens and on French tables. Today, Duralex has become a SCOP (Société Coopérative et Participative), reaffirming its commitment to its values of quality, sustainability and employee involvement.
With production still located in France, Duralex continually adapts to market needs while preserving its heritage. Known for its robustness and timeless design, the Duralex brand is a symbol of French glassware.
