Two sites with a long history of glassmaking
The two sites of SCHOTT in Valašské Meziříčí in the Czech Republic build on a long history of glass manufacturing in this part of Moravia. Glassworks were established here as early as 1855 by Salomon Reich, and became part of the SCHOTT family in 1996. Now, two separate business units are located here: SCHOTT CR (Lighting and Imaging) and SCHOTT Flat Glass (SCHOTT Termofrost®). Besides the production and processing lines of the products, these units also provide services such as IT and Human Resources across the Czech Republic, as well as a concentrated global R&D team for all SCHOTT Termofrost® products.

About the region
A historic town built on glass
Surrounded by the picturesque Beskydy Mountains and the Vsetín Hills, the town of Valašské Meziříčí is located in the east of the Czech Republic, in Moravia, and is home to 22,750 inhabitants. The community was founded as far back as the 13th century and became known as a center for glassmaking from 1855, when a local glassworks rose to become one of the largest producers of light glass in the Austro-Hungarian empire. Those skills and traditions were handed down the generations, which was one of the reasons why SCHOTT decided to build an operational base here.
