Weißwasser, March 18, 2022. In January 2022, Leopold Grupp took over the management of the traditional company Stölzle Lausitz. Together with the technical managing director Ronald Brieger, he will steer the company's fortunes with immediate effect. His predecessor was Johann Nagl, who retired last year.

Glass production in Lusatia has been one of the most important and traditional sites in Europe for well over a hundred years. Grupp, who is part of the owning family, wants to continue this tradition and make Stölzle Lausitz present in all markets. The prerequisites are provided by the quality of the products and the strength and passion of the employees. "We want to make the world curious about us. We can do a lot and I am looking forward to showing this to the world together with the people here on site," the new managing director describes the objective.
