Grönvik glasbruk, or simply Grönvik, was a glassworks in the present day village of Grönvik in Korsholm, Western Finland. Founded by the merchant Johan Grönberg, it operated from 1812 to 1907, making bottles and drinking glass at first and, from the 1890s, window and pharmaceutical glass. It was the first factory in Finland to produce pressed glass, exported its wares to cities including Lübeck, Saint Petersburg and Stockholm, and became the most distinguished and eventually the largest glassworks in the Nordic countries.
