From 7 to 11 February 2025, Leerdam Crisal Glass proudly participated in Ambiente 2025, the world’s leading consumer goods trade fair, held in Frankfurt.

At Hall 12.0 – Stand C74, we showcased exciting new collections from our two flagship brands:

• ONIS, our professional glassware brand for the HoReCa sector, presented innovative designs, including The Glitch, a sensorial cocktail glass created in collaboration with award-winning bartender of Glassology by ONIS, Kate Gerwin, as well as many other novelties.
• Royal Leerdam, our retail brand, unveiled elegant new ranges such as Royal, Splendor, and Bonheur Optics, blending vintage charm with modern sophistication.

We want to extend our thanks to everyone who visited our booth and contributed to making this event a success.

A moment to celebrate the future of glassware through design, functionality, and sustainability.

In the year Sumol celebrates 70 years and CRISAL marks 80, flavor, design, and glassmaking savoir-faire come together to create an authentic glass, ready to toast.

As part of its anniversary celebrations, Sumol challenged designer Alexandra Moura, already a partner in a previous fashion collection, for a new collaboration: the creation of a unique, commemorative glass.

Renowned for her innovative projects, Alexandra Moura unveiled Sumol’s official new glass, designed by her and produced by CRISAL.
“The defining feature of this glass is its sensory dimension. (…) Bringing texture, bringing those elements that, for me, are iconic.” (…) “It was conceived, designed, and produced entirely in Portugal.”

Alexandra Moura

This challenge was embraced by CRISAL with special attention, not only because both brands celebrate long-standing histories in the Portuguese landscape, but also due to the ambitious design that pushed CRISAL to look to the future while honoring the past:

“To reproduce Alexandra Moura’s design as faithfully as possible, we had to diversify our current production techniques, exploring innovative technology that allowed us to respect the original concept of the piece.”

At CRISAL, glass is more than just a material; it is memory, identity, and innovation.
We are the only national producer of glassware in Portugal, operating through automated processes.

We have transformed everyday pieces into true symbols of Portuguese popular culture. From the iconic Galão glass, an essential in any café or pastry shop, named after this uniquely Portuguese hot drink, to the anchor goblet associated with Madeira’s poncha, or the tulip glass used in traditional taverns to serve wine by the glass. Even the classic beer glasses, Príncipe and Barrilito, have become connected with fino or imperial, shaping the image of the brewing industry over the past decades.

Therefore, on May 31, CRISAL celebrated its 80th anniversary and 2 years as an integral part of the LCGlass Group. And what better way to mark this occasion than by bringing all our employees together for a celebration? This special moment also welcomed local and national entities who joined us to honor our history and reinforce CRISAL’s meaning in the glass industry and within the local community.

Today, we keep alive the spirit that brought us here, with pride in our tradition and confidence in the future. We are proud of the path we’ve taken and excited about the journey ahead.
