GLASS BLOWING

For many years, PIGNAT SAS had in-house skills to offer glass, stain-
less steel or PVC units, adapted to both educational needs and indus-
trial applications.

Composed of two design and technical teams, a glass blowing work-
shop, an assembly workshop and a testing room, PIGNAT SAS designs
“turnkey” units. Technicians provide commissioning at customers loca-
tion and engineers offer quality training.

Historically, the glass-blowing department is one of the characteristic
features of the company.

Since 1960 this department has developed glass elements for scientific,
industrial and artistic purpose. Based on a high quality staff (since its
foundation, 8 workers have been nationally awarded). PIGNAT SAS has
built its own legend in glass blowing and currently shares this unique
know-how within our costumers.

Thanks to this rare skill and a specific tool, PIGNAT SAS is building very
unique pieces; for example, the company is the only French company

www.pignat.com
that produces very large dimension glass parts.

This 50 years’ know-how has enabled the company to obtain the EPV Glass welding
label: this “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (living heritage Enterprise)”
label is a State’s recognition mark to acknowledge the French compa-
nies of excellent small-scale and industrial know-how .

If glass parts made by the glass-blowing workshop feed mainly educa-
tional units and industrial pilots sold by PIGNAT, some parts are made
by request for artists, architects and designers who come seeking for a
mixture of scientific rigorousness and unique know-how to help them in
their creations.
