The Rhône-Alpes region ranks third in France for the glass industry. There are nine factories : six of pressed glass, two of cast and drawn glass and one of glass fibre. Coal from the Loire basin, the markets of Lyon and the south of France and manpower from Franche-Comté, a traditional area of glass working, were at the origin of this industry in the middle of the 18th century. Present conditions of development of the glass industry in the region relate to : a good energy supply (the Loire coal basin no longer plays any role), a diversified regional market (building, automobile, wine, mineral water and food industries), access to European and Mediterranean markets due to new means of transport and the presence of two important industrial groups, Boussois- Souchon-Neuvesel and Saint- Gobain.
