Because of the health crisis provoked by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Verrerie de Biot has recently not welcomed its usual number of visitors, especially from foreign countries. In addition, even when visits were allowed, the firm had to cancel the group visits and the popular workshops that enabled one to blow its own glass to respect the sanitary rules. Hence a significant financial loss for the company, which could not rely on another part of its activity either: the supply of tableware to hotels and restaurants.
