Awarding the winners of the competition Rosglavpivo® - the Main Beer of Russia 2023

As you know, on March 03, 2023, the XII International Forum was held: "The Brewing Industry of Russia: A Look into the Future".

The Association "StekloSouz" of Russia is a partner in organizing this large-scale event.

Viktor Osipov, President of the Association "StekloSouz" of Russia, spoke with the topic of the report "On the state of glass-making plants of manufacturers of glass containers for the beer industry of the Russian Federation."

In his speech, Viktor Osipov said that despite the objective difficulties, glass container plants produce products for the food, medical, chemical and other sectors of the national economy in the amount necessary for the glass market. Consumers have no questions about quantity and quality.

Viktor Osipov reminded the forum participants that the glass industry has entered the top five exporters and occupies a worthy place according to the European Union (EU) after the metallurgical and chemical industries. Currently, exports have declined sharply, but consumption is developing in the beer, wine, non-alcoholic, dairy, fruit and vegetable and other industries.

The Association "StekloSouz" of Russia controls the growth of beer production and will undoubtedly supply the market with the right amount of environmentally friendly glass packaging that is 100% harmless to health. Viktor Ivanovich assured the management of breweries that the glass factories will fully provide this segment with glass containers.

Viktor Osipov answered the questions of representatives of breweries on the fact of the increase in the cost of glass containers. The reasons are clear - this is the rise in prices in the energy, raw materials and other markets, suppliers of machinery, equipment and other components. However, glass factories are constantly working to reduce the cost of finished products and produce competitive glass products. As an example, he cited a reduction in the weight of glass mass per unit of production, a reduction in the consumption of energy resources.

At the end of the report, Viktor Osipov emphasized that the Association "StekloSouz" of Russia will, as before, work on an ongoing basis in close cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, Rosalkogolregulirovanie, the branch beer Union and other interested parties.
