For over seventy years, Goppion has engineered solutions that protect some of the world’s most treasured artifacts, including the Mona Lisa and the Magna Carta, as well as the revered collections of the Library of Congress in Washington and IBM’s groundbreaking quantum computer.

At the core of Goppion’s mission is a commitment to environmental sustainability. The company’s display cases are renowned for their exceptional durability and quality, constructed to endure the rigors of time while integrating cutting-edge, sustainable materials.
