Sgd Starts Work On New Pharmacy Glass Plant

SGD's new manufacturing plant will be dedicated entirely to specialty glass products for the pharmaceutical industry and will have the capacity to produce 130/tpd. The foundation stone has been laid for the new plant at St. Quentin Lamotte, in the Picardy region. The plant, which is due to be operational in the first half 2015, will be dedicated entirely to specialty glass products for the pharmaceutical industry. The new plant is the group's 11th, and is of great strategic importance for SGD as it enables them to meet the pharmaceutical industry's highly specialised needs even better than before. About 300 jobs will be created on a site that offers the possibility for future expansion.
