Krosno Glass S.A., commonly known as Krosno, is a glassware and crystalware company from Poland.[1][2] It has been in operation since 1923 and specializes in the production of high-quality glass accessories or liquid vessels such as jugs, vases, carafes, decanters and chalices as well as stemware and tumblers for serving spirits.[3] The products are available in over 60 countries worldwide.[4]
The name of the firm relates to the town of Krosno, in southeastern Poland, where the glassworks and manufacturing facilities are currently situated.[5][6] Each individual piece is handmade by expert glassblowers, artists and now higher technology.[7] The modern and futuristic design of the glassware manufactured by Krosno is based on the concept of minimalism.[6][3]
The company was acquired by Coast2Coast Capital in 2016 for 121 million Polish złoty.[8]
