Glass Service S.r.l. was born in 1994 when two companies, both with more than 20 years’ experience, decided to merge. The company is based in Italy, halfway between Florence and Pisa, an area with a rich history in glass making that pre-dates the Roman era.

Glass Service is locate in an ancient glass culture area. The Tuscany region glass and ceramic tradition and the use of high temperature furnace started in Roman age and never stop. The bigger developing was in 19 and 20th century by the famous green Empoli glass and its glass container industries.

Glass Service began by serving the glass companies in the local region, before expanding to work with the famed Murano Glass market in Venice and eventually the company was in a position to expand globally and we are delighted to service customers in almost every corner of the world today.

We have experience in a wide variety of glass manufacturing applications and across regions.
