Zwiesel Glas - the art of striking the right note.

Zwiesel has never just been about glass, but has always echoed the possibilities inherent in glass. We strive to create unique products at the highest level of manufacturing skill and craftsmanship that offer extraordinary experiences of enjoyment and community. Products that lend a special touch to every table setting and are simply part of refined taste worldwide. The sound of toasting with a ZWIESEL glass is the unmistakable sound of true hospitality.

Zwiesel Glas stands out for its unparalleled quality – an exceptional standard that starts with audible characteristics: The sound of toasting with Zwiesel glasses is unlike any other and has become a distinguishing feature of the brand. The unmistakable clinking sound is not only appreciated by glass connoisseurs, but also by hosts and guests all over the world.

Our handmade as well as machine-made quality glasses are equally appreciated by sommeliers, winemakers, international top chefs, leading hotels and consumers – in short, wherever hospitality is highly prized.
Some examples are luxury groups such as ALTHOFF HOTELS, cruise ships and high-end organisations such as JEUNES RESTAURATEURS D’EUROPE and the Association of German Quality Wine Estates (VDP), as well as celebrities from the world of gastronomy such as legendary barkeeper Charles Schumann and the German star chef Tim Raue. 

Designed to please the senses. Made by hand.

The fascinating craftsmanship of our master glassmakers is on display every day in our manufactory. The techniques we use to this day have been perfected and passed on for generations since 1872. Every work step and our employees’ appreciation and sensitivity for perfect details, precision and brilliance, create the most refined handmade premium products – ZWIESEL GLAS

Perfection – created in series.

Our machine-made series are not only brilliant, break-resistant and especially dishwasher-safe, but also sustainable. Our innovative TRITAN® technology makes glasses particularly durable and therefore, an environmentally friendly choice. We exclusively use proven regional materials for our production.

ZWIESEL GLAS also makes a lasting contribution to environmental protection with its sustainable oxyfuel technology, which consumes 30% less energy and causes significantly fewer carbon dioxide and nitrogen emissions during production.

Our machine production therefore offers quality and sustainable design at the highest level. Tradition and innovation come together in the finest premium products: ZWIESEL GLAS. Created to inspire guests and hosts alike.

The distinctive design and the variety of collaborations ensure that Zwiesel Glas continues to receive prestigious awards – the brand is currently collaborating with the young Swedish design duo Bernadotte & Kylberg. The Red Dot Award, Interior Innovation Award, German Design Award and “World market leader champion 2020” in the “Crystal glass for premium hospitality and catering” category are just a few of the recognitions recently bestowed on the brand. 

Zwiesel Glas is not only a high-quality product brand but as umbrella brand also the home of three strong brands: SCHOTT ZWIESEL, the professional glass, is highly popular as a strong partner of leading international hotels and restaurants as well as among consumers thanks to its excellent quality and extensive collection of wine and drinking glasses in contemporary design. With exclusive handmade collections, ZWIESEL 1872 is the company’s renowned lifestyle brand. JENAER GLAS, the well-known Bauhaus designer brand, is the epitome of individuality for serving, cooking and dining with heat-resistant glass products.
