Olivotto has been working in the hollow glass sector since 1946, when it began marketing its first rotary-type glass blowing machine. Research, innovation and on-going technological development have enabled the company to become a leading brand the world over, supplying “turn-key” systems and services made to measure for any production need.

On August 2003, Olivotto Glass Technologies (Italy) acquired the glass branch of ANTAS (Italy), a company with long-standing traditions and experience in the service of the hollow glass industry.

Later, on June 2007, Olivotto Glass Technologies acquired the assets of Lynch Systems (USA), a corporation that traces its roots back to 1914, one of the oldest hollow glass forming machines manufacturer in the world.

Recently, on April 2008, Olivotto Glass Technologies acquired the assets of W. Lindner Maschinen (Germany) a very well-known company with large experience for high quality production machines in all types of glass (lead crystal, soda-lime, borosilicate).

As a result, OLIVOTTO, ANTAS, LYNCH and LINDNER, leaders in their respective market sectors, forces and combined their capabilities to become the benchmark in the international scenario of hollow glass manufacturing plants, systems and machines.

Nowadays, the sales and marketing organization is represented by three “business units”. Each business unit consists of a team of engineers committed to specific market segments: TABLEWARE, TUBES & LIGHTING, TECHNICAL GLASSES.

Currently, the Olivotto Glass Technologies Group is the leader in engineering, manufacture, installation and commissioning of hollow glass forming plants, systems and machines and is an all-round technological partner, that can address most effectively any problem to do with the production of a variety of glass.

The group ensures the perfect matching of all forming machines, combined with full assistance and services at each project stage, until the manufacturing process is on stream.
