History

In the early 90’s our CEO Mikael Larsson was participating a scientific glass blowing education at the Swedish pharmaceutical company Pharmacia at their division for glass processing.
Pharmacia was later bought and restructured and the decision to dismantle the scientific glass blowing was taken.
