Henri Berthe
Founder and CEO
It all began with a creative flare and a dream to pair craftsmanship with superior bottle quality.
Upon moving to China, Henri Berthe worked in the distillery industry for several years. Once clients began asking him about creating unique glass bottles for their brandy and cognac, he seized the opportunity and acquired a glass factory, for which he began sketching and designing custom-made bottles himself. In 2005, he developed the first French family-owned glass and ceramic bottle manufacturing plant in China.
Henri Berthe comes from a family of carpenters and craftsmen, which no doubt has had an impact on his creativity and vision. He has an eye for design and a talent for recognizing the importance of balancing creativity with production processes. Innovation and forward-thinking management practices have seen Rockwood grow to become China’s largest bespoke glass and ceramic bottle factory, producing over 650 million bottles annually.
