Details

Swiss crystal manufacturer Sarner Cristal announced at the end of March 2006 that it would close its glass factory in Uetendorf, near Thun, laying off 17 employees. The closure is said to be the result of the high gas price, which had risen from 341 euros/ton in 2005 to 682 euros at the beginning of 2006. Sarner consumed almost 0.7/t of gas per day. The company was originally founded in 1957. The owners were unable to develop a social game for their employees and now plan to produce under the Sarner Cristal brand through selected glassworks in the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Germany.
