Glass creates space

You might be wondering why an industrial enterprise like Glas Trösch is being featured alongside Swiss craft producers. For Roberto Jäckle, head of project development, technology and design and branch manager of the Central/West region, the answer is simple: “At Glas Trösch, customers can order everything from a small shelf all the way to a shower enclosure or even large-format fire-resistant glass to suit their individual needs – even in a batch size of one.” And there are other aspects that make Glas Trösch Interieur a boutique manufacturer, such as personal service, the company’s many years of experience and the considerable expertise of its staff.

Glass is one of the oldest yet most modern materials of all. And it looks set to have a bright future – especially as the world’s quartz sand deposits are virtually unlimited. From the formation of natural glass in the heat of a volcano to the industrial production of large-format construction glass and designer glass for modern lifestyles – the history of glass is as fascinating as its properties.

In this family-run Swiss firm, quality is part of the old-established company’s philosophy. While it goes without saying that the Glas Trösch Group uses state-of-the-art technology and employs highly specialised experts, it is passion that ultimately makes the difference. Because glass is something of a diva: brilliant, but not always easy to deal with.

Glas Trösch has been familiar with this incomparable material for more than a century, during which it has continuously perfected its processing and testing techniques. From the raw material all the way to the finished product, the company produces glass at its own works, thus enabling it to keep a careful eye on the entire process.

Glas Trösch curves, refines, colours and prints glass. It finishes its products with mirrored and anti-reflective coatings and produces smart glass that uses solar energy and has heat-insulating properties. Then there are sound-insulating, burglar-proof, acid-resistant and walkable solutions, and others that keep birds away and protect people from fire.

Not to mention floating staircases, doors that exude timeless elegance and glass with original prints that conjure up herb gardens in customers’ kitchens. A technological edge and a passion for its material – that’s what makes Glas Trösch stand out from the crowd.

GLAS TRÖSCH: Since the firm was founded by Johann Friedrich Trösch in 1905, Glas Trösch has made a name for itself as a glass specialist and evolved continuously over the years. And not just in Bützberg where the company originated and continues to have its headquarters, but at its more than 60 other locations around the globe as well. Glas Trösch has more than 15 sites in Switzerland alone, from Bützberg to Malans and from Bulle to St. Gallen.
