Voa Celebrates The Restart Of Furnace No 2 In Albi, France

With an investment by Verallia of more than €46m to modernise two furnaces, VOA (Verrerie d'Albi) has marked the restart of furnace no 2 with a match-lighting ceremony at the plant. Furnace No 1, dedicated to the production of very high quality flint and extra-flint glass, underwent a complete rebuild at the end of 2015 and came into service at the start of 2016. In turn, furnace No 2, which produces green, dead-leaf and cannelle-coloured bottles, has now restarted.
