The history of the glassworks in Světlá nad Sázavou began in 1967, when the foundation stone was laid and work began on the construction of a new modern glass combine. There are records of glass production in this area dating back to the end of the 16th century. This history, and the small glassworks around Světlá that still continue in this tradition, have been the source of a highly qualified workforce.

Production began in 1970 with a range of mostly handmade goods.

A revolutionary change came with the introduction of the automatic production of machine-blown stemware in 1975. Another major step.
