Specialists, since day one, in glass decoration with precious metals
Production in the Netherlands began in Maastricht in the second half of the 19th century when the eminent Regout family started a decoration business in the city, producing and supplying liquid gold, initially to the ceramics industry and then to the glass industry.
A long-standing tradition of achievements contributed to making the Maastricht plant a key actor in the production and supply of precious metals, pigments and glass-based materials, not only for the European market but also globally. This pivotal growth plan promises to thrive as part of the Fenzi Group, and will benefit from its extensive, unique global network within the glass industry.
