It's also because almost every french home has one of their glasses and they are good quality.
So it's a mix of history, tradition, enjoying good products, the pride you get from your country producing good products.
And not only homes. I moved to France several months ago, and I keep seeing the Duralex mark in cafes, at my workplace, basically everywhere.
Sounds like their biggest problem is that the product is so good the domestic market may be saturated. I was pleased to read in the article that they're working to increase exports. I'm a big believer in products that are engineered to last rather than be regularly replaced.

Sad how rare that is these days. Which other companies does that apply to?

I'd say it's more likely cheap imports that are the issue.
Yeah, they're known for being practically unbreakable. Couldn't tell you how many times I dropped my Duralex glasses with them not breaking.
