Peill+Putzler

Glashüttenwerk Peill und Sohn was founded in 1903 in Düren, Germany. In 1947, after the Second World War, the company merged with Putzler, whose origins go back to 1869, and continued under the name Peill+Putzler Glashüttenwerke. Over the following decades, Peill+Putzler developed into one of Germany’s best-known producers of glass and lighting. In its peak years, the company employed up to 1,500 people and was one of the largest employers in Düren.

The company worked with important designers such as Wilhelm Wagenfeld, Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg, Helmut Demary, Aloys Ferdinand Gangkofner, Horst Tüselmann, Dieter Sieger and others. Peill+Putzler became especially known for its high-quality glass production and for a wide range of modern lighting designs, many of which received iF Design Awards. Peill+Putzler received many design awards, not only for its lighting designs. Over the years, the company won 86 iF Design Awards.

Peill+Putzler also supplied glass components to other European lighting companies, including Raak, Philips, Müller & Zimmer and Van Doorn in the Netherlands, and Massive in Belgium. These lamps often combined Peill+Putzler glass with electrical parts made or specified by the companies under whose names they were sold.

In the mid-1990s, production was gradually moved from Düren to Slovenia, Poland and the Czech Republic. Only the trading of lamps and glass remained in Düren. Although the company was able to celebrate its 100th anniversary, insolvency proceedings followed in 2005.

For a number of years after that, the Peill+Putzler name continued to be used, including for Wagenfeld lighting marketed by the German company Paul Neuhaus. The former factory site in Düren, now known as Glashütte Düren, has since been converted into a multifunctional complex with various businesses and event spaces.

The Peill+Putzler name was revived again in recent years and is now used by Peill+Putzler Leuchten GmbH & Co. KG in Hemer, Germany. A new catalogue has been online since 2025, including reissues of some of the company’s best-known models, such as the Lido table lamp.
