Duralex

Duralex is a French tempered glass tableware and kitchenware manufacturer located in La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin in Loiret, France.

[6] In January 2021, Duralex was acquired by International Cookware group which is the producer (outside the USA) of the rival PYREX brand, for 3.5 million euros ($4.2m).

[8][9][10] The company's expertise in highly resistant tempered glass was of interest to the American brand, even though its production facilities were outdated.

[13] Duralex was placed into receivership in April 2024 for the fourth time in 20 years, which created a six month observation period during which a buyer for the company will be sought.

[14] In July, the Commercial Court of Orléans accepted a proposal supported by 60% of employees to transition the company to cooperative ownership, with all jobs to be retained.
