Un ancien cadre d'Apple et un ancien patron de LVMH s'intéressent à la cristallerie Baccarat
Plusieurs investisseurs français s’intéressent de près à la manufacture de cristal Baccarat, privée de PDG depuis un an et devenue la propriété de fonds institutionnels hongkongais en décembre. Fondée en 1764 en Lorraine, Baccarat est l'une des plus anciennes cristalleries d’Europe. Ses lustres, vases et verres étincelants ont orné les palais des familles royales, des Romanov aux Bourbons. La cristallerie a également contribué au développement de la parfumerie moderne française au début du XXe siècle. Aujourd'hui, Baccarat prospère en partie grâce à ses carafes de cristal pour les cognacs Rémy Martin Louis XIII et Hennessy XO, ses lustres et ses commandes spéciales pour les hôtels et les résidences de milliardaires.
