Arcoroc

Welcome to our Arcoroc boutique, dedicated to the French professional glassware brand launched in 1958 by the Arc group in Arques, in northern France. Born from Arc's long-standing glassmaking know-how, established in 1825, Arcoroc emerged from the application of the tempered glass process to table glassware. Designed for professional catering and hospitality from the outset, the brand today equips hundreds of thousands of cafés, brasseries, canteens and institutional kitchens around the world.

Arcoroc know-how

Arcoroc relies on the thermal tempering process developed by Arc at Arques: the glass is heated and then rapidly cooled, making it up to five times more resistant to mechanical and thermal shock than standard glass. This technical signature underpins the entire range.

• Tempered glasses: shock resistance and repeated dishwasher use (up to 2,000 cycles claimed on selected ranges)
• Stemware and flutes: Élégance, Amelia, Viticole collections built for restaurant tables
• Opal glass tableware: white plates and dishes from the Restaurant and Opal ranges, shock-resistant
• Stackable bowls and salad bowls: optimised for space in professional kitchens
• Bar glassware: Islande and Salto tumblers and carafes, designed for intensive use

Choosing your Arcoroc glassware

What distinguishes an Arcoroc glass from a standard glass?

All Arcoroc glasses are thermally tempered, giving them mechanical and thermal resistance far above untempered soda-lime glass. If they do break, the glass shatters into small granular fragments that are less sharp, making them safer in professional catering. Tempering also limits the gradual weakening caused by repeated cycles in a professional dishwasher.

What's the difference between Arcoroc and Arcopal?

Arcoroc and Arcopal are two distinct Arc group brands: Arcoroc historically refers to transparent tempered glass (stemware, tumblers, salad bowls), while Arcopal refers to opal glass (white tableware, plates, dishes). On a restaurant table, both brands are often used together: Arcoroc glassware with Arcopal or Restaurant blanc tableware.

Should I choose Arcoroc for home use or strictly for hospitality?

Arcoroc was designed for catering from day one: stackability, reinforced bases and tolerance of professional dishwasher cycles guide every collection. At home, the brand makes sense when you want a glass that survives children, large family meals and frequent washes without chipping. For a more formal table, finer-bowled ranges such as Amelia or Élégance bring a look closer to dedicated wine glassware while keeping the benefits of tempered glass.

Which Arcoroc glass for a café or restaurant?

For intensive bar service, Islande and Salto are proven choices: tough, stackable and dishwasher-friendly. For a traditional restaurant table, Élégance, Amelia and Feston offer a more refined finish. For pitcher or carafe service, Arcoroc's Carafon range is designed for brasserie use. For large-scale service (canteens, messes, institutions), stackable salad bowls and Islande tumblers are essential.
