Studio Atto has acquired Arc, the global leader in tableware, for an undisclosed amount. This corporate acquisition sees Studio Atto take ownership of the historic French company, known for its extensive portfolio of glass solutions for eating, drinking, and home experiences. Arc, with a heritage spanning over 200 years, operates through renowned brands such as Luminarc, Arcoroc, Cristal d'Arques Paris, and Chef&Sommelier.
Arc serves both individual consumers and professional sectors, including mass distribution, hotels, restaurants, bars, cafes, wine merchants, and collective catering. The group maintains a significant global footprint with production sites in France, the United States, China, and the United Arab Emirates, producing over 4 million items daily. Employing 6100 people worldwide, with 3750 in France, Arc reported sales of 688 million euros in 2024. The company is also a key contributor to the circular economy, actively developing innovative and sustainable glass containers as alternatives to single-use plastic.
The acquisition by Studio Atto is a strategic move aimed at leveraging Arc's established market leadership, extensive brand portfolio, and global operational scale. This change in ownership is expected to provide new impetus for Arc's continued growth and innovation, particularly in its commitment to sustainable glass solutions and the circular economy.

Looking forward, the combined entity is poised to build upon Arc's 200-year legacy, focusing on operational efficiencies, market expansion, and further investment in its innovative product lines. The acquisition is anticipated to strengthen Arc's competitive position, ensuring its continued role as a leader in providing high-quality, sustainable tableware solutions to customers worldwide.
