Glass Production

 

As a traditional glass brand since 1946, EISCH Germany stands for the design of glass as a creative element of tableware at the highest level. Already in its fourth generation, the EISCH family identifies itself with glass design and refinement as well as innovations in the wine sector. The fascinating, enjoyment-enhancing effect of the SENSISPLUS glasses developed to unfold the aromas is confirmed by wine experts from all over the world.
 
The exceptional design of the high-quality products was again confirmed in 2019 with several awards such as the Tableware International Award of Excellence, the Tableware Award Dineus and the Manufactory Product of the Year.
 
During our guided tours through the factory you have the opportunity to experience yourself the creation of a glass product from smelting to the final finishing process.
