Batch pelletising was introduced at Philips' Winschoten factory in 1982 and since 1987 the pellets have been made available to non-Philips factories. Soda-lime, lead crystal and borosilicate batches can be prepared as 3-15MM diameter pellets. Currently 4 lead crystal companies are using the service.
