Schott Glass AG is a leading manufacturer of industrial glass products. Schott Glass produces the highest quality industrial glass products. As an example, Schott Glass provides the very optically pure components, and the famous Zeiss and Schnieder Kreuznach lens brands both incorporate Schott Glass products.

Schott Glass manufactures a wide range of industrial glass products, including fibre optics, the glass components in flat-glass displays, laboratory glassware, and architectural lighting, among many others. Schott Glass is a German company with a long and prestigious history. Schott Glass was founded in 1884 by Otto Schott and his partners, as the Glastechnische Laboratorium Schott & Genossen, and changed its name to Schott Glass (or rather Schott Glaswerke AG) after the Second World War, when the company was forced to relocate away from East Germany by the communist influence of the East German government. At that time, Schott Glass lost control of the original glassworks in Jena, but when Germany was reunified, Schott Glass AG were able to repurchase the Jena glassworks and form a single company again.

Schott Glass is now an international glass manufacturer, specialising in several areas of industrial glass production. Schott Glass UK is a subsidiary of Schott Glass AG, and manufacture and distributes specialist Schott Glass products for the UK market. Schott Glass UK products include a wide range of laboratory glassware, including bottles, desiccators, glass filtration, etc.

Schott Glass also manufactures a broad range of architectural lighting solutions. Schott Glass fibre-optic systems, in particular, are used in a wide range of modern architectural settings, allowing architects and interior designers to create innovative designs.

Schott Glass publish the industry standard Schott Glass Catalogue, a reference work detailing physical characteristics of the entire Schott Glass product range, and those of other leading glass manufacturers. The widespread recognition of this catalogue as an industry reference tool is a clear indication of industry regard for Schott Glass knowledge and expertise.
