Our story

A story
that blows.

Founded in 1972 in Fontenay-sous-Bois, Belleville SA established its workshop on rue Auguste-Comte with a clear purpose: supplying university and industrial laboratories with hand-blown scientific glassware. Specialised in borosilicate 3.3, the workshop quickly became a trusted reference for research institutes across the Île-de-France region.

Over fifty years later, the founding spirit remains intact. The tube, the flame, the breath — the founding gesture remains unchanged. What has changed is everything around it: a catalogue of over 3,200 references, a technical service for industrial equipment sourcing, and an online platform for our professional clients.

Today we work with university hospitals, the CNRS, INSERM, engineering schools, but also distilleries, perfumers, and culinary research studios. Science is never far from craftsmanship.

— A word from our director

A legacy,
an ambition.

Since Jacques Belleville lit his first flame in 1972, our house has been built on one simple conviction: a well-blown piece of glass must be earned. It demands patience, attention, and a deep respect for the gesture. That exacting standard is what we pass down, generation after generation, without ever compromising it.

Today I carry that legacy with pride — and with a renewed ambition. We have modernised our tools, expanded our catalogue, launched our online platform for professional clients. Not to do things differently. To do the same things, better: bringing the same quality of artisan glassware to you, faster, further, with greater transparency about what we make.

Every piece that leaves the workshop carries a little of who we are. Thank you for giving it a place in your lab. We work every day to be worthy of that trust.

A service
at hand.

A technical advisor responds to your request within 24h. Quote on spec in 48h. Delivery within 8 days in mainland France.

— 03

Duration,
always.

A Belleville glassware piece is designed to last ten years in a lab. We also repair those you send back to us.
