Ardagh Glass Holmegaard
Our Holmegaard glass production facility in Denmark was founded on November 5, 1825.
Count Christian Conrad Sophus Danneskiold-Samsøe applied for a permit for the facility, to utilise the Holmegaard moor belonging to his estate, however the facility did not commence production until two years after his death, under the direction of his widow, the Countess Henriette Danneskiold –Samsøe.
Until 1831, the facility had one furnace, manufacturing only bottles. From 1832 household glass, art and industrial glass were also manufactured. A second furnace was built and the manufacturing of flint glass was initiated in 1835.
Ardagh Glass Holmegaard 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 Denmark, not only for Denmark and other Nordic countries but for all countries to which our customers export food and beverage products packed in glass.
