At a reception in Paris on September 18 attended by more than 110 people, Alexis Govciyan, director of the ISM (Institut Supérieur des Métiers, Higher Institute of Trades), presented an award to Dr. Cornelius Grupp, owner and Etienne Gruyez, CEO of Stoelzle Masnieres Perfumerie SAS (formerly Verreries de Masnieres). The award, “Enterprise du Patrimoine Vivant” (Living Heritage Enterprise) is a label granted in recognition of companies that have achieved excellence in industrial expertise.
 
The prestigious label comes 200 years after the company’s founding in 1818, and marks 2018 “as a year of tremendous pride for the co-workers at the French innovation and excellence center of Stölzle Glass Group.” Since joining the group in 2014, it has served the needs of clients including Estée Lauder, Givenchy, L’Oréal, and more).
 
The industrial complex is located in Masnières, 120 miles north of Paris in the Hauts de France region. It comprises two entities: Stoelzle Masnieres Parfumerie SAS, specializing in the production of high-end glass bottles and jars, primarily for the perfumery-cosmetics sector, and Stoelzle Masnieres Parfumerie Decoration SAS, specializing in glass decoration techniques, including Quali Glass Coat 2.0, a newly developed powder paint decoration process.
