About

Bülach-based manufacturer of glass packaging for the food and beverage industry, with glassworks in Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Italy, Ukraine and Moldova.

The group traces its origins to the St-Prex glassworks founded in 1911, and since 1986 it has expanded through acquisitions in Austria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovakia, Ukraine, Italy and Moldova, where most of its roughly 3,500 employees now work. Headquartered in Bülach, it opened a new plant at Boffalora sopra Ticino in Italy in 2023.
