Arc International launched in 1968, as a worldwide first, the fully automatic production of a range of 24% minimum lead content crystal glasses. The Cristal d'Arques brand was born and Arc International had started a revolution in the tableware market, allowing the majority of people to enjoy the magic of lead crystal. Following increased success, Arc International set up a factory entirely dedicated to the manufacture of lead crystal and has, since then, developed ranges of lead crystal decorative objects, expressions of expertise in glass-making.
