In the year 2000, to demonstrate its global vision, ARC International became the brand identity of Verrerie Cristallerie d'Arques, a family-owned company specialising in Table Arts since 1825.

On its 250-hectare site in northern France, ARC International  manufactures some six million items each day, making it the world's leading producer of Tabletop products, 85% of which is exported to over 160 countries. In order to maintain and enhance its number one global positon, and to improve service worldwide at a local level, ARC International has setup production plants in Spain, the USA, and more recently, China and United Arab Emirates. This is a cornerstone of the company's strategy and is designed to proactively increase their involvement with key markets, untimately bringing them closer to the distributor and end user. To further realise this strategy ARC International has also acquired distribution outlets in many countries,and initiated further commercial offices around the world.
