Based in the province of Piacenza in Italy, Borgonovo was founded in 1950 by three partners with a focus on producing daily glassware for domestic use. The brand has always sought to maintain a high standard of quality in order to meet and satisfy the demands of its customers. Their glass is made of extra white sodic-calcic type (lead-free) and their product range is created through phases of pressing and press-blowing. The main characteristic of Borgonovo products is their strength to withstand daily usage for many months and years.
