Special Note About Glass
Buying glass is, in our experience, very frustrating for many people. There are many factories and each has its own requirements for order minimums, its own specialties, its own quotation process and many other things that can make it daunting to a first time buyer.
Additionally factories are plagued by retail buyers trying to get a good deal. So they are often slow to respond to email, if at all.
If you are interested in buying glass we recommend that you go to this page, Polish Products Information Center , and give us information about what you would like - be it information, factory contact or a particular product.
We have a full time representative who can help you get what you want. He will use the information you provide to do research and get back to you. Since that representative is generally personally known by factory representatives, it is easier to get a response.
And if you wish a project manager, we can refer you to some people who will work as your in country representative.
We recommend strongly, regardless of what type or how much you wish to buy, or if you are just doing your research, tell us what you need or want to do at the Polish Products Information Center
Glass Details
Hand formed Polish products are famous for their very high quality. Because of their high standards and reliability, Polish glass factories manufacture for others like LSA International. Many other famous glass and local brands are subcontract manufactured in Poland. If you wish your own brand, you are more than welcome to make a proposal. You can even have your own limited edition art glass made.
Polish art glass is also world famous for its creativity and quality. Art galleries know that the place to find top quality products is in Poland. And you can find a lot of that in this page.
Machine formed glass is also well done. This glass is typically used for high production, low cost vases and glasses. Even though it is machine formed, such glass made in Poland retains its reputation for high quality.
Many Polish glass factories are concentrated in Krosno, Poland. The Krosno region and Krosno glass is well known. Krosno glass, as it is internationally known, is hand decorated by many Polish artists and sold to discriminating Polish art glass collectors.
Glass Resources
There are many large and small glass suppliers in Poland. Below we have listed information about some.
Clear Glass
Such items as flower vases and drinking glasses are typically machine formed. Factories producing this type product generally have high minimum order requirements. For small pieces the minimum is often 1,000 of any one item. For larger pieces, the minimum is often at least one pallet load.
Even though Polish glass is generally more expensive than the glass coming out of the Far East, many have found that ordering from a factory that is closer has definite advantages. And they find that there are other good reasons to deal with Poland.
Factories generally do not publish catalogs, but rather provide information in response to a specific request. Orders are negotiated projects and you will get pictures of pieces that meet your general requests.
