The Preciosa Group
A global leader in luxury goods manufactured
from crystal, the Preciosa Group stands
upon centuries of glassmaking tradition and
innovation. From the world’s smallest faceted
flatback stone to our cutting-edge, bespoke
lighting installations, Preciosa looks to our
own unique heritage to draw inspiration for
the future of responsibly crafted Bohemian
crystal. Together, the Group operates regional
offices across Europe, North America and
Asia and melts 40 tons of glass every day.
Preciosa’s main campus and head offices are
located in Jablonec nad Nisou, a small town
in the North Bohemian region of the Czech
Republic. Archaic Czech for “Little Apple Tree
on the Nisa” (Nisa being the river that flows
through town), Jablonec nad Nisou received
its official township status in 1866 from
Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary in
recognition of the town’s collective success
in glassmaking and jewelry production.
Today Preciosa operates 10 additional
production sites throughout North Bohemia
and two corporate offices in the nation’s capital
of Prague. In 2016 the Group opened a highend showroom in Prague’s medieval Old Town.
