I’m currently looking for glass food storage containers (freezer safe, oven safe as a bonus).

My search so far has only turned up Pyrex Europe, which is an American company but produces exclusively in France.

Other brands I’ve checked:

  • Orthex: imports their glassware from abroad, and does not produce it in Sweden/Finland (confirmed via email, still waiting on the actual country) Edit: confirmed made in China by their support.
  • Glasslock: offices and warehouses in Germany, production in South Korea
  • Luminarc: French company, produced in UAE
  • Duralex: French company, made in France. Does not deliver outside of France (EU website is “under construction”). I reached out about the broken website.
  • IKEA 365: Swedish company, glass made in different countries (confirmed France, Czech Republic). Lids made in China.
  • Weck: German company, probably made in Germany. Not ideal shapes, and while theoretically freezer proof, not meant for that.
  • Frigoverre by Bormilio Luigi: comment said produced in Europe and China, their own website does not show a production site outside of Europe. No direct sales from their website, no local retailer for me.
  • vilde.pl seems to produce in Poland, but not what I am looking for
  • Kuhn Rikon produces in Switzerland, but no delivery for me
  • Status Innovation seems to produce in Slovenia

So I’d appreciate any tips and I will update the list with what I find.

Edit: Seems like Duralex fits the criteria but does not deliver outside of France. Please keep additional suggestions coming!

Current top list:

  • Duralex if the EU website would work
  • Frigoverre if there would be direct sales or a local retailer
  • Kuhn Rikon if they would deliver to me
  • Status Innovation seems to produce in Slovenia
  • IKEA 365 despite the Chinese lid
  • Weck, because the shape is just not practical for me and they do go beyond 500 ml.
  • Pyrex Europe, made in France, but US company.

    I’ve got a bunch of Luminarc glass containers that I bought at the local home stuff store here in Italy and they’re excellent

    I just checked my IKEA 365+ containers and they are made in Czech Republic! Despite the sometimes cheap stuff IKEA offers i think these are well made. They seal well, can be put into the oven / freezer (i did both) and are stackable (without their lids). The base is fully glass, the top part is plastic but i think they even offer separate lids if you so desire.

    I would also take a look at the https://www.emsa.com/ (Germany) product line. They have glass containers, maybe some fit your criteria.

    https://www.emsa.com/frischhalten/glas-frischhaltedosen claims:

    Whether microwave, oven, fridge or even freezer: borosilicate glass food storage containers are of high quality, withstand cold and heat and can therefore be used in a variety of ways in the kitchen. Whether freshly prepared or still uncooked. Thanks to the hygienic lid with the tried-and-tested freshness seal, food stays fresh for longer. The glass food storage containers can also be stacked inside each other on the shelf to save space thanks to the integrated stacking edge. It is therefore definitely worth buying.

    Edit: Company is registered in Germany, but hold by a French company. The production takes place in Germany and China (according to wikipedia).
