Steklarna Hrastnik Focuses On Glass Packaging

Steklarna Hrastnik is canceling its table glassware programme from September 2020 and focusing all of its production capacities onto glass packaging. The Slovenian glassmaker decided to expand capacities on the latter programme due to increased demand from the market for glass packaging because of its quality of glass. The crisis, triggered by the global spread of coronavirus, has affected the company, who have around 700 employees. 60 employees on the tableware lines had been laid off until September. Other employees from the tableware sector will be redeployed onto container production.
