The Company was founded in 2012: Pierre Lecat is considered the "watchmaker of Cognac" because of the firm's passion for the craft. Patience, consistency, precision, and a high regard for tradition are the company's guiding principles.
In 2013, Pierre Lecat released its magnificent “XO Mémoire” cognac and Stölzle Glass Group was a part of the adventure, providing a decanter that has been considered one of the finest used to bottle the wonderful spirit.
Starting with a lovely original design provided by Stölzle, the Group’s standard decanter “Reserve 700ml” was once again evolved by Stölzle Flaconnage, the British production site of the Group, as requested by the customer to provide a container that was perfect for pouring cognac. The design was further enhanced with a simple, but very elegant, silver hot stamp decoration.
In 2014, Pierre Lecat’s cognac decanter received international recognition at the German Packaging Awards where the bottle was shortlisted for its beautiful visual appeal and the silver foil decoration. The bottle and cognac itself, the XO Mémoire cognac, received the awarded Silver Outstanding medal at the IWSC awards, one of the highest acknowledgements in the industry.
Stölzle Glass Group has five European production sites across Europe and is a leader in both custom design and standard glass containers for prestige and beauty as well as healthcare and consumer goods. The UK plant in Yorkshire produces mainly prestige spirit bottles and high quality containers for the fragrance and personal care markets. A variety of in-house decoration techniques like hot foil blocking and multi-colour spraying are offered to make products unique.
