Milan Vobruba invented his own technology for surface treatment of taxi glass. Since the technique is reminiscent of antique glass, it was called "ALEPPO". The technique is characteristic for its special structure and iridescent effect.
The first production was started in 1969 at the Reijmyre glassworks. Since 1978, Aleppo's production continued in its own glass studio in Gusum, Valdemarsvik municipality, Östergötland.
