Limmared

Ardagh Glass Limmared


The founder of our Limmared facility, Lieutenant Colonel Gustaf Ruthensparre, constructed it on his farm ‘Limmareds’ in the Tranemo parish of Sweden.

From the beginning, production was aimed at simpler objects such as bottles, drinking glasses and pharmacy glasses, but in 1744 an engraver was hired and as a result, a rich production of first-class tableware glasses was produced in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Ardagh Glass Limmared is part of Ardagh Group – a global leader in glass packaging, producing award-winning, sustainable glass bottles and jars for some of the world’s most influential brands.

We are the only glass packaging producer in the Nordic region. Our aim is to create sustainable packaging solutions in Sweden, not only for Sweden and other Nordic countries but for all countries to which our customers export food and beverage products packed in glass.
