OUR HISTORY
Vidrexport was born from the entrepreneurial vision and determination of two brothers who shared a common passion for glass. Since then, it has been guided by a spirit of continuous growth, adapting to the times, overcoming challenges and evolving through various stages.
We are currently based in the Glass Capital, Marinha Grande, so more than just feeling glass, we live it. This is where know-how is passed down from generation to generation, where tradition meets innovation, and where the sound of furnaces in operation and glass being transformed is part of everyday life.
We breathe this craft every day. Glass production has run through our veins since 1996, shaped by experience, dedication and respect for an art that demands precision, knowledge and a lot of passion.
We are currently based in Marinha Grande, the Glass Capital. So, more than just working with glass, we live it. This is where expertise is passed down from generation to generation, where tradition intersects with innovation, and where the sound of furnaces in operation and glass being transformed is part of everyday life.
Besides its national prestige, Marinha Grande holds a prominent international role as one of the most important production centers for utilitarian and decorative glass in Europe.
We breathe this craft every day. Glassmaking has run through our veins since 1996, shaped by experience, dedication, and respect for an art that demands precision, knowledge, and passion.
Today, we dedicate ourselves to producing distinctive glass bottles. From mold maintenance in our workshop to manufacturing and final inspection, each bottle reflects the care and mastery we apply at every stage of our process, resulting in a product that is not only functional, but also expressive.
