The Glencairn
Crystal company which now sells 65,000
Glencairn glasses every week has
announced that they have experienced 15
consecutive years of global growth.
Scotland-based family-owned crystal
company Glencairn have announced
consecutive business growth over the
past 15 years, following the
ever-expanding whisky category across
the globe.
I am sure most of you are familiar
with the Glencairn whisky glass they
produce and probably have a couple of
them in your cupboard but it isn't just
whisky glasses they produce they are
also known to specially produce stunning
custom decanters for whisky companies to
be filled with some of the worlds’
rarest and most expensive whiskies.
The award winning family business
Glencairn Crystal which is owned and run
by the Davidson family recently released
its end of year figures to reveal an
unbroken run of 15 years of continued
business growth.
In 2004 the East Kilbride based company
turned over £858K with the latest
figures in 2019 reaching an
unprecedented £11.3 million.
The exponential growth of the business
comes from, not only existing markets,
but the expansion into new markets –
China being the largest that the company
has gained traction in over the past 12
months. The US continues to provide huge
growth for Glencairn and is now worth
some £4m a year of the company’s
business with US online sales alone
accounting for nearly £1 million worth
of this.
Glencairn now ships to 95 countries
worldwide, working with over 600
distilleries directly.
Some of the company’s most high-profile
decanter projects include luxury bespoke
decanters for a single malt whisky that
have been hand engraved using rare
gemstones. In the past year the company
has been commissioned by over 30
different brands to create bespoke
packaging for some of the oldest and
most luxurious single malt whiskies ever
released.
 Scott Davidson, New Product Development
Director at Glencairn said: "We are so
proud of the success we have achieved in
this past year. Our hardworking team and
the worldwide growth of the spirits
market, specifically whisky, has meant
that we have been able to capitalise on
what we do best – provide clients with a
high-end customer service they can’t get
anywhere else."
He continued: "Above all else we
continue to put our customers and their
needs first – something that is
demonstrated through fifteen years of
continued growth."
