As a 100% independent consulting company, we assist glass manufacturers, the food and beverage packaging industry, the pharmaceutical industry and other users of glass products in identifying and resolving glass quality issues, breakage causes and conformity to specifications.
Our expertise
Being well-versed in container glass plant operations, we provide more than simple conformity checks and statistical quality control of glass production lots.
In a typical glass products quality project, we assist and represent clients, such as breweries, at glass plants to ensure bottles meet their high-quality standards (which often differ from local standards).
Comprehensive quality assurance
Our approach involves going upstream in the glass production process to identify weaknesses, reduce quality failure risks and assist manufacturers in improving glass quality and quality control.
Our no-nonsense method typically includes multiple action levels:
- Independent quality assurance: Conducting an independent, additional quality assurance of the concerned production run, which is our highest priority.
- Extended recommendations: Providing a final report with an extensive list of recommendations for improved efficiency, better glass quality, and more efficient and accurate quality control.
Our services include consultancy services, comprehensive audits of glass production and product quality, defect identification and troubleshooting, conformity checks, production run follow-up and product specification:
Projects e.g.
- Monitoring and improving container glass production runs at the glass plant
- Conformity checks: ensuring glass packaging specifications are met
- Glass defects identification and troubleshooting
- Consultancy and expert witness services on defects such as anisotropy, NiS inclusions, breakage and quality failures
- Elaboration of detailed glass product specifications and determining glass characteristics
- Set-up and improvement of quality management systems
