The technological development of this national icon of the glass industry over the past 65 years is closely related to the progress made by Nadir Figueiredo S.A. itself, which is close to completing its first century. Let's consider as a starting point the manufacture of the tumblers in 1947 by manual means, i.e., within more traditional patterns of handmade glass, in which the operator collects the glass bulb from the oven using a cane and deposits it in a mold that will give the product its final look. This process yielded about 1,000 tumblers every 8-hour shift, and it was considered advanced for its time.

Nadir Figueiredo reached the milestone of 6 billion units produced in 2010. To get an idea of the number of 'American tumblers' produced to date by Nadir Figueiredo, the 6 billion pieces, which weigh a total of 630 million tons, would reach 402,000 kilometers if they were put in a row, which would be enough to go around the world 10 times.
