After the First World War, "Hortensja" expanded - in 1921 it employed about 500 workers. It produced elegant blown and pressed glass in fashionable art deco shapes. It received numerous international awards for its products. The difficult working conditions and low wages (the owners, who were sympathetic to the Nazis, invested most of their profits across the western border of Poland) led to numerous strikes, notably in 1923, 1928, 1932, 1936. Just before the outbreak of the Second World War, the former owners of "Hortensja" "The Haeblers" left Piotrków. During the war, the factory was under German administration. In the People's Poland, the glass factory was nationalized and received the name Huta Szkła Gospodarczego "Hortensja". Almost all the old buildings were demolished or completely rebuilt. In the 1970s, "Hortensja" employed over 2,000 people. It exported its products to about 120 countries. Despite its transformation into a company with a single shareholder from the State Treasury in 1993, 'Hortensja' did not survive the political and economic changes and ceased its activities at the end of the 1990s.
