M. SWAROVSKI GmbH

Our Competence Center for Glass Technology

Amstetten, Austria is SWARCO's birthplace. M. SWAROVSKI GmbH was founded by Manfred Swarovski in 1969 and is the site of his first glass bead factory. Over fourty years later, the company is still alive and kicking and among the major glass microsphere producers in the world.

M. SWAROVSKI GmbH specializes in the production and sales of high quality retroreflective glass beads for road marking materials. Industrial grade glass beads for blasting and surface treatment are also produced here. Both these core products are manufactured in line with ISO 9001 quality standards and with recently upgraded furnaces for improved output.

Amstetten is also the site of SWARCO's Competence Center for R&D related to glass technology and retroreflective systems. The expanded research and development activities focus on developing new glass products for traffic and non-traffic applications.

M. SWAROVSKI offers a comprehensive and complementary line of road marking materials that contribute to improved retroreflection and traffic safety throughout Central and Eastern Europe.
