Tempered glass started in France in the 1930s with the St-Gobain company. In 1945 they registered the Duralex brand and started producing Duralex tableware. There was a post-war boom period in the 1950s to the 1970s where women, now assigned to kitchen duties, were wanting better designed products that were easier to manage. Tempered glass filled that niche and Duralex expanded into a global market.

At some stage Duralex bought out Vereco, but little is known of Vereco itself or how long Vereco was produced as a brand before it was absorbed into Duralex. Apparently, the name Vereco is now used only in Brazil as an alternative name to the Duralex name.
