WHERE ARE WE MADE AND BY WHOM
Leerdam Crisal Glass (LC-Glass) has been writing the history of Glass in Europe since the XVIII century. We are proud of our rich roots in the European glass cities of Leerdam, The Netherlands, and Marinha Grande, Portugal. In our open organization in which Northern and Southern Europe come together, we embrace diversity, stimulate and challenge each other to continue to innovate and improve ourselves every day. We take care of each other and the world around us, and are constantly working to make the production process more sustainable, for example by using energy-efficient furnaces and green energy wherever possible.
We have been designing, producing, and selling glassware for 250 years under the brand Royal Leerdam for the consumer and now introducing ONIS, the new iconic brand for professionals. Our glassware can be found everywhere; in many restaurants and bars but also in the cosiest homes worldwide. We dedicate our day-to-day business to those looking for quality and originality.
GLASS. A CLEAR CHOICE.
Recycling has always been at the heart of our business! We aim to produce 100% recyclable glass products with zero impact on the environment, assuring that the next generations can live in a better world. We do this by applying sustainable processes throughout the organization and supporting social, economic, and cultural progress in the communities where we live and work.

Eco-Conscious Manufacturing: For years, we have been leading in eco-friendly manufacturing, by implementing the most sustainable furnaces in the industry in both production units.

Innovative Repurpose cycling: By repurposing existing molds, we give discontinued products a new life cycle and adapt them to current market trends.

WHAT SETS US APART
The product has an elegant thin yet robust stem. Proof that elegance can go hand in hand with sturdiness.
Glassware designed to bring out maximum aroma and flavor for increased quality perception in serves.
The product has a very fine polished rim for an elegant look & feel and refined drinking experience.
The product is designed to be stacked for space saving purposes.
This special thermal after-process strengthens the upper portion of the glass, the area most vulnerable to breakage. It increases the resistance to thermal and mechanical shock which results in remarkably durable glassware with prolonged service life.
The colour is embedded in the mass of the glass during its production, and not applied by an after-process, and therefore fully resistant to dishwashing and scratching.
This product showcases a larger footplate for extra stability, granting an additional elegance to the piece. It is the perfect balance between form and functionality.
In the ONIS collection, we can find the most iconic glasses, with a timeless and striking design that many know only by the silhouette, such as ICON, Flashback and SPKSY.
The Glassology Contest challenges professionals working in the Drinks Industry, to develop and create their ultimate glassware design. As a result of that, some of our product ranges find their roots in this competition, including: The Gats, 1924, the Tulip Punch Bowl and Divergence.
ONIS’ Xtratuff treatment is a super strengthening thermal after-process for “pressed” tumblers. The Xtratuff process is only performed on the upper third of the glass, which increases its resistance to thermal and mechanical shock. By treating this upper portion at a lower temperature than tempering, you put less stress on the glass. This has a positive effect on how the glass breaks and also improves its overall durability.
EMBOSSMENT

Proudly produced in Europe, our tumblers will hold the distinctive ONIS EUROPE at their bottom. This stamp symbolizes our dedication to design excellence and European quality.
ONIS XTRATUFF

SKU 837780 6 SKU 1005965 6
This unique glass, with its artful design, impacts all five senses and enhances the drinking experience!
Its mismatched steps, where the drink spreads, make it appealing to the eye and make you want to fit your fingers on those little glitches on the sides.
From glass to garnish, the cocktail must be a work of art! So, when creating The Glitch, Kate wanted to create a glass that gets that ‘wow factor’, but stays classy and inspiring.
You cannot resist it!
MOSAIC
No. 51148VCP47

No. 51148VCP35
The Mosaic range will surely captivate your attention! Its inspiration comes from contemporary architecture and mosaic art. The name “Mosaic” comes from its intersecting patterns embossed across the vertical columns, remitting us to the wellknown chevron pattern, creating a stunning visual effect!
The elegantly curved silhouette and pleasantly tactile texture make it irresistible to hold, turning any drinking occasion into an unforgettable experience.
Born from the mastery of ONIS and inspired by Glassology by ONIS’s third winning design, The Gats Stemware showcases geometric lines and luxurious ornaments to the stem.
Designed in collaboration with Yochen Verbeeck, these glasses are more than just an extension; they are statement pieces that add value and stand out in the ONIS glassware collection.
Before pouring "steaming" hot drinks, always pre-heat the glass or be sure to insert a metal spoon to help absorb the heat.

GLASS HANDLING GUIDE
WHY GLASSWARE BREAKS
Glassware is one of the most important tools used in the hospitality industry. It is also one of the hardest materials around, yet under certain conditions it can also be fragile. The number one reason for glass breakage is improper handling. This guide presents you and your staff with insights into how to minimize breakage through proper handling of your glassware. By applying these tips you can save 20-30% on glassware costs.
THERMAL SHOCK
Glass holds temperature, and a rapid change in temperature can cause enough stress to result in breakage. The main moments when thermal shock loss can occur are in the dishwashing cycle and when preparing drinks. To minimize loss always allow glasses to reach room temperature before and after they are washed and pre heat glasses that will hold warm beverages.
MECHANICAL SHOCK
Mechanical shock in glassware is the direct result of contact with another object, such as a spoon, a beer tap, another glass, or a piece of china. This kind of contact can cause a minute abrasion, invisible to the eye, but a source of weakness in the glass, making it more susceptible to breakage from impact or thermal shock.
