Glass Industry Customers
We are at service of glass industry customers and users of glass products, including the pharmaceutical, food and beverage industries, breweries and end users with glass quality issues.
Glass characteristics, glass quality, glass failure and glass defects trouble-shooting
Whether you are using float glass, container glass, fibre, tableware or special glass types, we can help solve your problems using our expertise in glass defects, compositions, physical characteristics, colour definitions, and more.
We can perform research on specific glass technology topics. For example, we help breweries optimize glass colour for better light protection and assist pharmaceutical companies in improving chemical durability.
Glass is a unique packaging material: natural, appealing, inexpensive, reusable, recyclable and environmentally safe. It will never affect the taste or smell of your product.
However, glass is heavy and it breaks. Both characteristics are linked in a complex way. Lightweight glass does not necessarily increase failure risk.
Troubles with colour, chemical durability, scuffing, float glass defects (anisotropy, cords, NiS inclusions, thermal stress, breakage)? We advise and help you with any glass product related problem.
Glass packaging quality control
Food, beverage and pharmaceutical companies are well aware of the risks of glass packaging failures and their consequences: recalls, production losses, damage claims, etc.
Since acceptance quality control alone cannot guarantee perfect container glass, close follow-up of supplier performance is highly recommended.
Thanks to our insider know-how in container glass manufacturing, we provide detailed process and quality control at the glass plant, including complete supplier audits.
With our flexibility and independence, many collaboration opportunities exist for quality improvement, production enhancement and cost reduction.
Let’s create a win-win situation!
Glass courses and training
Effective supplier follow-up and quality inspections require fundamental knowledge of glass production.
We offer on-site training courses such as the one-day “Glass Technology Essentials” course, tailored to your objectives.
