The official inauguration of Stölzle-Union took place 14 Oct in the presence of 150 customers, suppliers & partners. Stölzle's new flagship production unit for pharmaceutical packaging glass has 5 lines (with another to be added shortly), for the production of pharmaceutical glass & mini spirits using the furnace's daily output of 140/tpd amber glass. Johannes Schick, CEO of the glass Group & Group CFO/CEO of Stölzle-Union, Bernhard Karrer, presented the new factory to international clients from more than 20 worldwide countries. Guests were shown around the glassworks, following the natural process of glass production, also including the main new areas: batch house, compressor building, regenerative furnace, feeder, furnace control room, hot end, air lock, cold end and packaging robots. The entire company area was increased by 13,000 ssq.m. of adjacent land, occupied for the sorting, re-sorting and warehouse area.
