O’BERK has added a designer glass packaging group, which according to Marc M. Gaelen, president and CEO, will “offer exceptional luxury glass packaging to the fragrance, perfume, high-end giftable and collectable markets.” The group’s capabilities include bottles, closures, decorating, labeling, and cartons for complete high-end luxury packaging. The new group is headed by Hugues Thibaud, who previously managed Elemental Container Inc. The first offering is a line of fragrance bottles (see Design Center, p.99 in this issue). In addition, the group has an agreement with Pierre Dinand for specialty glass bottles. The first launch from the Dinand collaboration is Grande Factice.
