Kräss GlasCon is a German company with a history stretching back over 100 years. Today it is a leading manufacturer of greenhouses, commercial greenhouses and garden centres in Germany and Europe with its glass and steel structures.Kräss has also been represented in the Russian market for over ten years. Its first Russian project was accomplished back in 2003, and a subsidiary was opened in the country in 2005.
