Verallia Italia Invests In Furnace 73

The new Furnace 73 is the result of a big investment made by Saint-Gobain Group for Verallia in Italy. The new furnace, installed for the production of glass food containers, respects the environment thanks to its low Co2 emission levels and an intelligent use of energy. The project was completed in May 2014, with the production of the furnace's first containers. The new installation is located at Gazzo Veronese which was identified as a strategic position from which to best serve their food and beverage clients most devoted to export - a driving sector in all of Italy's economy today. The furnace, working at full capacity, will be able to produce around a million containers a day on three lines.
