Company profile
Our tradition of producing glass balls dates back to 1991, when the company EcoGlass, s.r.o. was co-founded by Ing. Wolfgang Ginzel. Ginzel, s.r.o was founded in 2000 to specialize in the production of glass balls.
Ginzel, s.r.o. evolved from the original Ecoglass company to specialize in, and focus on, the development, manufacturing and sales of technical glass beads and balls.
We offer beads and balls manufactured specificaly to customer requirements. These requirements focus mainly on two aspects.
Firstly the dimensions (guaranteed tolerance of diameter, roundness and surface quality).
Secondly the glass content and physical-chemical attributes (borosilicate glass, low-alkaline glass, special colored glass etc)
Technical products made from technical glasses are an important part of our product range. For example, accurate diopter, lab working plates and accurate measuring glass and glass with defined permeability in ultraviolet areas of light radiation. Our product line even includes sales of lances with finished stamped surfaces for lighting and display devices and techniques.
Decorative products are represented mainly by paperweights and furniture clips.
We conduct our own research and development for the manufacturing and processing of glass and we apply the results of this to glass industry practice. We enjoy to work with new projects which move us forward and open new possibilities to use glass and ceramic beads. First and formost, however, customer satisfaction is our top priority.
Our company turnover is c30 milion CZK p.a. and c95 % of products and services are exported to the EU.
