Due to this strong local glass tradition, it was not difficult for the glassworks to find its highly qualified local workforce, and nowadays its premium quality Czech glass is exported around the whole world.

Nowadays, some 17 million pieces of machine-blown stemware and 5.5 million glass gift items are produced here annually. The local glass excels in top design and first-rate quality and is processed from modern, ecologically-clean molten glass known as crystalite. Some of the most successful of Crystal Bohemia's beverage glass sets include the Klara, Gastro, Laura, and Kleopatra collections, among others.
