Crystal:After
years of
study and
research
in
collaboration
with the
University
of
Erlangen
in
Germany
and
extensive
independent
testing,
SchottZwiesel
has
succeeded
in
creating
a new
Crystal
Glass. By
eliminating
lead
content
from the
glass
composition
and
replacing
it with
Titanium
and
Zirconium
a new
superior
crystal
is born-
Tritan
Crystal.The
Tritan
composition
along
with new
manufacturing
technology
exclusive
to Schott
Zwiesel
delivers
a
superior
Crystal
Glass in
its
appearance,
durability,
and
design.
The
Tritan
Crystal
is used
by
renowned
sommeliers,
restaurants,
cruise
lines and
resorts
worldwide.Additional
strength
added to
vulnerable
zones.
There are
three
zones on
a piece
of
stemware
that are
most
prone to
breakage:--the
rim--the
junction
of the
bowl and
stem--and
the
junction
of the
foot and
the
stem.Schott
Zwiesel
technology
individually
tempers
each one
of these
zones to
give
added
strength
to the
tritan
composition.
The
stemware
resists
chipping
and
breakage
to stand
up to the
abuse of
daily
use. This
technology
creates
lasting
durability
and
longer
life to
the
stemware,
without
compromising
the
aesthetic
quality
of the
product.Dishwasher
SafeTritan
Crystal
composition
has been
proven
through
independent
testing
to be
completely
dishwasher
safe.
After
1,000
dishwasher
cycles
there
were no
defects,
discoloration,
scratching,
cloudy
appearance,
spotting,
stains or
breakage.

Schott Zwiesel, the famed German producer based in one of the world's prime glass-manufacturing centers, has led the glass industry for more than 100 years. The company has many industry "first" to its credit, including the first fully automated production of blown glass stemware in 1967.
In the 1990's as the industry struggled with the environmental issues of lead and heavy metals, the company was the first glassmaker to produce lead-free crystal glass of superb quality and brilliance. Its latest breakthrough is the patentedTritan technique for producing extra-strong crystalline stemware. The process combines a proprietary mix of materials with tempering of vulnerable points to create the most resilient fine stemware in the world.
The companies, though from different backgrounds, share a similar corporate culture. Schott Zwiesel and Fortessa are equally passionate about their work and share comparable objectives and views. Schott Zwiesel is a leading producer of high quality crystalline glassware and Fortessa is a diversified developer and marketer of tableware. The move to create a partnership between the two companies shows a long-term commitment to the development of the Schott Zwiesel brand in the Americas.
Fortessa is an integrated designer, developer, and marketer of high-quality tableware and accessories. For over a decade the company has led the way in tableware with innovative products and industry leading service.
