History

ITALY

Parma, Italy, halfway between Bologna and Milan, has a glorious history that traces back to the Etruscans. Perhaps best known for its splendid architecture and its foods (especially the incomparable parmigiano reggiano cheeses and its prosciutto di Parma),the region is also a center of art and music, higher learning, and glassmaking, foremost the world’s leading glassware manufacturer, Luigi Bormioli.

The company was founded in 1946 by Mr. Luigi Bormioli, who led it to international prominence. The Bormioli family continues his mission: a commitment to great design,traditional Italian craftsmanship and new-age glassmaking technology to create beautiful glassware of the highest quality. Luigi Bormioli rivals fine crystal in appearance and elegance,but is lead-free, aHordably priced and widely available.

Glass Treatments

TITANIUM Reinforced®

Luig Bormioli’s Titanium reinforced treatment is the most reliable,as it:
• Guarantees the stems’ resistance to breakages even after multiple industrial washing cycles
• Glass sparkle and transparency is maintained
• Avoids any glass discoloration.

Some FOLLOWERS, trying to imitate, use treatments that disappear after some industrial washing cycles also leaving on the glass unwanted optical effects, such as iridescence, and stems with reduced resistance to breakages.

I ANTI-DRIP coating I

A revolutionary treatment that prevents dripping:
• No more drops of wine staining the exterior of the carafe or decanter nor the table cloth.
• The wine flows out with no friction and it pours perfectly into the stemglasses.
• The drops of wine are kept inside the container.

The special Anti-Drip coating is carried out on the glass surface using a high technology process.
