The glassworks, transformed in 1896 into a joint-stock company under the name Towarzystwo Akcyjne Ząbkowickiej Fabryki Szkła in Ząbkowice, produced only blown glass products. From 1902, the products of the glassworks were glass accessories and pressed glass. Art Nouveau patterns were repeated until the 1980s. Due to the crisis in 1935, the steelworks stopped production. Its re-launch took place during World War II, and the products were intended exclusively for military purposes. After the end of the war, the steelworks remained under the Provisional State Administration; in 1959 it was transformed into a state-owned enterprise operating under the name of Ząbkowicka Huta Szkła Gospodarczych - State Enterprise Separated, subordinate to the Central Board of the Glass and Ceramics Industry. In 1960, the name was changed to Huta Szkła Gospodarczy "Ząbkowice". The systematic development of the glassworks and the growing sales of glassware in Ząbkowice resulted in the incorporation of other glassworks into the company: Glassworks "Siemianowice" (inserts for thermos flasks were produced there) in 1973, Glassworks "Skawina" (container glass manufacturer) in 1974 and Glassworks "Skawina" "Staszic" (producer of wine balloons) in 1979. The "Ząbkowice" Economic Glassworks, as a multi-plant enterprise, developed dynamically until the 1990s. Reference : 263468
