Bormioli Luigi, based in Parma, Italy, is a historic leader in premium glass packaging and tableware with a family heritage dating back centuries.
Founded in 1946 by engineer Luigi Bormioli, the company was born from a desire to combine traditional glassmaking craftsmanship with continuous technological innovation. Since 1994, under the leadership of Alberto Bormioli representing the latest family generation, the group has accelerated its international growth while advancing its commitment to sustainability and design excellence.
Bormioli Luigi aims to redefine the standards of premium glass packaging by demonstrating that sustainability and luxury can coexist. They therefore developed LIGHTWAY, a breakthrough glassmaking technology that drastically reduces bottle weight without compromising premium aesthetics or mechanical strength.
LIGHTWAY combines advanced glass engineering, precise thickness control, chemical strengthening, and optimized distribution to produce light glass bottles. This enables weight reductions of up to 70% while achieving an up to 68% decrease in carbon emissions (comparing a standard 250 g bottle with an 80 g ultralight bottle under the ISO 14040/14044-compliant Life Cycle Assessment).
By drastically lowering raw material consumption and energy demand during production, LIGHTWAY provides a resource-efficient solution that allows beauty brands to achieve both a stunning consumer experience and a significantly reduced environmental impact.
