Association «StekloSouz» of Russia. Scheduled meeting on the provision of glass production with raw materials

On January 24, 2023, a scheduled meeting was held at the Association "StekloSouz" of Russia (hereinafter referred to as the SSR) on the issues of providing glass production with raw materials.

The meeting was attended by heads of departments and committees of the Association.

Shubin Valery Nikolaevich, Director of the SSR Glass Industry Development Department, made an analysis of the state of the resource base.

The heads of relevant departments noted in their reports that, in general, the provision of glass factories with enriched quartz sands of various grades, dolomite and raw materials of other nomenclature takes place in a planned manner and does not cause concern.

At the same time, deliveries of soda ash cause concern. The cost of a strategically important product for glassmaking is constantly rising, which jeopardizes the operation of factories.

Aleksey Vladimirovich Savin, Chairman of the SSR Committee on Ecology, reported on the development of the dynamics of production of raw materials from cullet.

The meeting participants made a number of decisions.

The scheduled meeting was chaired by Viktor Ivanovich Osipov, President of the Association "StekloSouz" of Russia.

Viktor Ivanovich summed up the results of the work of the glass industry in 2022 and made a proposal to hold a joint meeting with Trade House Bashkhim LLC in order to jointly align problematic issues at prices.
