Peill+Putzler
Glashüttenwerk Peill und Sohn was founded in 1903 in Düren, a small town in (West) Germany. Peill und Sohn merged with Putzler (founded in 1869) in 1947 as a glassworks and lighting company, becoming Peill+Putzler Glashüttenwerke.
The company worked with important designers such as Wilhelm Wagenfeld, William Brown, Helmut Demary, Aloys Ferdinand Gangkofner, Horst Tüselmann, Dieter Sieger, Gerhard Beigel, and many others.
In the 1950s, around 1,500 people worked for the company. They also produced glass for other European lighting firms, such as Raak and Philips (The Netherlands) and Massive (Belgium), to name a few.
Peill+Putzler received many design awards, not only for lighting. The company received 86 iF Design awards.
In 1995, production of glass and lighting moved to Slovenia, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Only the trading of lamps and glass remained in Düren. In 2005, one year after its 100th anniversary (2004), the company filed for bankruptcy.
In 2008, the name Peill+Putzler was reused for several years, including for the Wagenfeld lighting sold by the German lighting company Paul Neuhaus.
Today the former Peill+Putzler factory, now called Glashütte Düren, has been converted into various businesses and a conference centre.
Peill+Putzler was reactivated in 2022–23 and is now issued by Peill+Putzler Leuchten GmbH & Co. KG in Hemer, Germany, about 150 kilometres from Düren. Organizationally, the company is linked to IS Leuchten via the same address and managing director, Torsten Alberts. A new catalogue has been online since 2025, with several of the old icons, such as this Lido table lamp.
