"We've set the standard for quality and value

with a commitment to you, our products and the

environment." – Jean Francois Lafitte 

Lafitte maintains a family-owned business with production and distribution facilities for wine corks and capsules in Chile, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain and the United States. With over 100 years of industrial experience, Lafitte's eager attention to new and evolving industry standards ensures our continual improvement in producing the highest quality cork products suitable for all wines.

Our Standards...

Lafitte Cork and Capsule is a
founding member of the CQC
(Cork Quality Council), which sets
stringent standards on corks to be
sold in the U.S. market.
Since 1995, Lafitte California has operated a state of the art QC laboratory with an ozone-infused moisturizing room to aid in ensuring cork sterility, the first of its kind in the U.S.

Sustainability...

Cork products are not only entirely sustainable, the process of harvesting trees also has a significant benefit for the atmosphere. Harvested cork trees play an important role in CO2 absorption, and therefore controlling greenhouse gases, storing between 3 and 5 times more CO2 than trees not harvested, which is used to aid regeneration.
