Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe shop of JM Glass Factory at Marinha Grande (5602302278).jpg | In 1993, Danish businessman Jørgen Mortensen bought from the State the bankrupt Stephens Brothers Training Factory (Fábrica Escola Irmãos Stephens) which had gone bankrupt the year before. He restarted the business as JM Glass, specialized in the production of high quality leadless crystal. In doing so, Mortensen was following a path similar to that taken roughly two centuries earlier by Englishman William Stephens, who had bought from the State the bankrupt Royal Glass Factory started by John Beare in 1748. Except that Mortensen did not have the backing of a powerful prime minister like the Marquis de Pombal, who was able to grant commercial privileges and monopolies at will... JM Glass went bankrupt in 2005. |
