Portuguese glass manufacturing has a history which dates back to the 18th century, in Marinha Grande, a municipality in the coastal Leiria District of the country.
The glass industry in Marinha Grande is still in operation today, being Portugal's largest for glass manufacturing. In fact, over 250 companies still operate in the region, with it being Europe's largest moulding industry. The town itself has earned the nickname of 'The Crystal City'.
