At Dubiel Vitrum, we have been producing mirrors and glass for over 40 years.

Officially, the company was registered in 1982, but the glassmaking traditions of the enterprise date back to the 1930s. It was then that Piotr Dubiel began working as an apprentice at a glass artisan's workshop in Tarnów.

After World War II, he started his own workshop in Rabka-Zdrój, earning a master craftsman diploma in the glassmaking trade in 1965.

Piotr passed on his knowledge to his son, Andrzej, who founded the company in 1982. The business has been running continuously to this day.
