DURAN GROUP

The DURAN Group is one of the world's leading manufac-turers of borosilicate glass 3.3, a special glass invented by Otto Schott in 1887 and then registered in 1938 under the trade name of DURAN®. Over the last 70 years, DURAN® glass has proved itself globally both in laborato-ries as well as in industrial and household applications. Reputable companies on every continent place their trust in the quality of DURAN®'s products and in the creativity of its staff. The company works in close dialogue with customers to create GROUP solutions, which comply with customers' individual wishes, enabling them to handle ultra-precise applications in widely varying fields. 
DURAN's strength comes from co-operation: above all, strong ties to global brands, then strategic co-operation with other component suppliers or by working collabora-tively with sub-suppliers the door is open to enormous potential.  As a result it is in a position to adapt production processes precisely to any particular requirements part-ners may have and also to address important, but minute details.  Furthermore this specialist glass company re-gards itself as a process initiator and facilitator:  whether it's at the ideas phase, during the course of the detailed design work or interdisciplinary technological develop-ment, the DURAN Group is committed to providing first-class support, keen to offer lasting collaboration and to assist with forward planning. 

Doing it this way always means "thinking outside the box".  Regardless of whether it's domestic or industrial glass, the range of services the company offers goes way beyond the production of glass containers. That is why the DURAN Group has become one of the first contacts for new product developers. DURAN's expertise in marketing and branding means the company keeps one crucial step ahead, paving the way for innovations. One way the DURAN Group succeeded in this respect was in the manufacture of a heat-resistant glass in asymmetric form. The Mainz-based special glass manufacturer is the only company in the world able to mass-produce asymmetric glass containers. DURAN had the courage to think later-ally and creatively, thereby forging the perfect environ-ment for this technological advance. 

In the manufacture of borosilicate glass 3.3 in particular, the DURAN Group sets high standards. This superior-grade special glass is always produced with exactly the same quality features and it boasts many advantages. Borosilicate glass 3.3 can be used in a wide variety of applications. It boasts a high thermal resistance and is suitable for use in microwaves and ovens, thereby guar-anteeing healthy and safe food preparation, plus smell and taste neutrality. Due to the flexible production proce-dures the company uses, borosilicate glass 3.3 can be combined with a very wide range of products and designs in industrial and household fields. Now it's just a case of waiting to see where DURAN® next makes a successful appearance. One thing is certain – it will be a co-operative venture.
