Headquartered in Italy, the business group Zignago Vetro is a European manufacturer of high-quality cosmetics and perfume containers as well as a producer of food packaging and special bottles for high-quality wines, oils and spirits, to name only the most important areas. In addition to the plants in Italy, the group also has production sites in France and Poland. In order to produce high-value glass, high-quality raw materials are needed. This is especially important for the use of cullet. In order to be able to use cullet to a greater extent, Zignago Vetro has taken up the challenge and is now planning to operate its own cullet processing system. One location of Zignago Vetro in Italy is Portogruaro, near Venice. Here, a regenerative furnace from SORG as well as a unit melter are in operation. To meet the increasing demand for glass containers, Zignago Vetro has expanded its capacity at Portogruaro in flint, Georgia’s green or dark green glass.
