The Spirit of Duralex: Strength, Passion, and Collective Pride
Solid by nature, indispensable by choice
For nearly a century, Duralex has been crafting everyday objects that have become iconic around the world. Our story is written in blue, white, and red. Founded in the heart of France, in Saint-Mesmin, our factory embodies a unique expertise: the art of producing tempered glass that is strong, functional, and durable—a legacy that spans generations.
Starting in 1945, Duralex revolutionized dining with a simple goal: to offer everyone reliable, attractive, and affordable tableware.
Glassware then becomes a constant companion, from lunch in the cafeteria to dinner with friends, and even at the finest restaurants.
A French legend
Our iconic models—such as the Picardie, Le Gigogne, andEmpilable—have stood the test of time, becoming symbols of French design thanks to their widespread popularity.
A socially responsible brand
Duralex is committed to more than just its products: we are dedicated to local, responsible, and inclusive manufacturing. By becoming a worker-owned cooperative (SCOP), the company places people at the heart of its model. Here, everyone contributes, makes decisions, and moves forward together. Nothing is wasted; everything is transformed and passed on. From materials to values, we are building a fairer and more resilient future.
