Beware of Swarovski counterfeit products!
The brand Swarovski
In the Austrian family business Swarovski everything revolves around crystal. The glass cutter Daniel Swarovski founded the company in 1895 and developed a mechanical cutter, which he patented. With this he succeeded in producing the crystal stones faster and cheaper. The company is based in the municipality of Wattens in Tyrol. The region's abundance of water is ideal for driving the machines needed to cut and cool the crystals. In addition, the secluded location provides perfect protection for the innovations from the competition. This is because Swarovski always keeps the secret about the production of its glittering stones. In addition to crystals, Swarovski is also active in the production of abrasives with its Tyrolit brand. With Swarovski Optik, the company brings telescopes, rifle scopes and binoculars to the market.
