Why

Challenging? Absolutely. But the more intricate the task at hand, the greater our ambition and drive to find a tailored and cost-effective solution. For you. And we’re not too old to learn. In fact, quite the opposite: ZIPPE is where it is today, continuing to lead the way thanks to our heritage of future orientation, continuous development and an unwavering passion for glass.
