To preserve the shine and clarity of your glasses over time, we recommend a few simple steps: Open the dishwasher door as soon as the cycle has finished to prevent limescale build-up. Use a low-temperature programme. Store your glasses without stacking them. For optimal care of your crystal glasses, hand washing with a soft cloth remains ideal, preserving their original shine year after year.

The history and expertise of Verrerie Arc France

From Cristallerie d'Arques to Arc International: it was in the early 1820s, specifically in 1825, that the Verrerie Cristallerie d'Arques was founded. This small family business, established by the Durand family, gradually established itself as an industrial flagship of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region. Over the decades, its expertise and glassmaking know-how were refined, enabling the company to gain international recognition. In 1948, the Luminarc brand was created, marking the start of a strategy to diversify its product ranges. The year 1968 marked a major turning point with the launch of the iconic Cristal d’Arques brand, the result of a technical innovation enabling the automated production of crystal stemware. It was finally in 2000 that the company adopted the name Arc International, reflecting its global ambition. Based in the north of France, in Arques within the Pays de Saint-Omer conurbation, the Arques glassworks is a major economic pillar for the entire region. The historic site, which has continued to expand over the decades, is now the world’s largest glass production site for tableware. The company has always played a leading role in the local economy, employing entire generations of families. In 2025, despite economic fluctuations and changes in the industrial landscape, the site employs nearly 4,000 people.

Manufacturing: innovation and sustainability at the heart of Arc glass

La verrerie Arc façonne l'art de la table française depuis près de deux siècles. Arc continue de faire vivre tout un territoire malgré un environnement de marché devenu exigeant. Un savoir-faire industriel d'exception La force d'Arc réside dans son expertise industrielle unique et sa capacité d'innovation. Dès 1958, l'entreprise a révolutionné le secteur en produisant le premier verre à pied dit « verre ballon » en fabrication automatique. En 1968, une autre révolution industrielle mondiale s'opère avec la mécanisation de la production des verres à pied en cristal. Le pôle Recherche et Développement, équipé d'un laboratoire dernière génération, permet aux chimistes et chercheurs de repousser constamment les limites techniques pour créer des solutions en verre innovantes aux propriétés inédites. En 2019, après deux ans de recherche, Arc a développé deux nouveaux types de verres : l'opale culinaire et l'opale de couleur, permettant de proposer des collections en verre opale teinté dans la masse. Engagement durable et environnement de marché Face à une dégradation sévère de l'environnement de marché et malgré plusieurs plans de refinancement, Arc a été placé en redressement judiciaire en janvier 2026. Cette situation difficile s'explique notamment par la baisse de la consommation, la diminution du pouvoir d'achat et une concurrence internationale intense. Néanmoins, Arc poursuit sa démarche de développement durable avec des initiatives ambitieuses : Réduction de l'empreinte carbone, Recherche sur des fours électriques pour diminuer la consommation énergétique, Création de contenants en verre remplaçant la vaisselle plastique jetable Intégration de 70 % de calcin recyclé dans certaines gammes comme « le verre noir », Mise en place de réseaux d'eau fermés et contrôlés, Traitement des fumées des installations.
