Glass-making expertise serving a world full of passion. Over the years, Arc International has developed real wine-making know-how. With extensive glass-making expertise and a desire to convey a certain French art de vivre, the group has invested in wine-making technology aimed at professionals.For example, it initiated and carried out a project to produce a high-tech material, Kwarx®, designed exclusively for wine tasting. In 2006, the Open Up glass, with a revolutionary form, was the first to benefit from this new material. It received the Janus de l’Industrie, a prize awarded by the Institut Français du Design (French design institute), and met with resounding commercial success.
