ROGASKA CRYSTAL

Steklarna Rogaška - The elegance of glass!

Rogaška Slatina is a little town in a pleasant valley in the middle of the Obsotelje region. Despite its small size it is famous for several world-renowned products and services. One of this things , that make Rogaška Slatina famous is the fact that it is home to a glassworks, producing products of such refined elegance that they have found enthusiastic customers all over the world. Founded in 1927, the glassworks is today one of the leading producers of handmade, exclusive glassware. Over the course of its long history, Steklarna Rogaška has achieved a leading position among producers of top-quality handmade glassware, successfully exploiting its competitive advantages – chiefly design, supreme craftsmanship and rapid adaptability to changes – in markets around the world.

Steklarna Rogaška is a successful company which has recently signed an important deal in the USA. Through a tie-up with the American businessman Donald Trump, Slovenian crystal will now be sold under the Trump brand in the USA. Donald Trump is well aware of the quality of Rogaška's products because he already uses them himself. Rogaška currently does 50% of its business in the USA.

The glassworks in Rogaška Slatina is a symbol of tradition and the finest quality. The town's long glassmaking tradition is a guarantee that the glassmakers make skilful use of the raw materials that nature provides to create magically transparent glass, full of light, purity and sparkling beauty. It is a combination of creativity with the laws of nature and the properties of glass. To this masterly tradition, Rogaška has added state-of-the-art technology and contemporary design. The company collaborates with outstanding Slovenian designers, among them Tanja Pak, Oskar Kogoj and Jani Vozelj.

Today's glassmakers, who skilfully employ modern techniques and technology, are still fascinated by the richly decorated and shaped products of their predecessors. All this proves that in this field there is always a human being in the foreground: the glassblower, the glasscutter. Handwork is the result of cooperation between the individual and the technique, yet even so the most valuable element is still expert experience.

Steklarna Rogaška produces two types of glass: lead crystal glass and crystalline glass. Glass products are created from a special mixture of quartz sand, calcinated soda, red lead, ash and calcite or limestone. To this basis, colourants or decolourants are added (for colouring or removing unwanted colours). The mixture is melted in furnaces at 1,450°C. Individual products are shaped in moulds made on the basis of a drawing.

Many of the products of the Rogaška glassmakers achieve the level of works of art, and the effort of many skilled professionals is invested in them. Noble beverages are decanted into Rogaška products; gastronomic specialities are served in them; crystal candlesticks help create the atmosphere. For all moments and occasions.

In recent years Steklarna Rogaška has also produced precious crystal trophies for the winners of important sports competitions, notably winter sports such as skiing and ski jumping. They have also produced trophies for those chosen as sports personalities of the year. Recipients of trophies produced by the glassmakers of Rogaška include Michael Schumacher, Svetlana Khorkina, Björn Borg and many others.
