Sibsteklo started production of green bottle

Until the end of the year, the glass complexes of Siberian Glass LLC (an asset of RATM Holding) intend to produce 90 million such glass products, thereby fully satisfying the demand for green containers from beverage manufacturers operating beyond the Urals.

Anton Mor, General Director of Sibsteklo, said that the commissioning of a new glass melting furnace allowed the company to expand the range of container glass, thanks to which productivity increased by 30% - up to 850 million glass products per year.

– With the development of capacities, we can plan the loading of production lines, having optimally organized the production program, – said Anton Mor. – Green containers have already been tested by customers from among international brewing companies and regional players in the beer industry. They confirmed that its characteristics correspond to the technical specifications. We are talking about glass packaging of various designs for seven brands of beer. The weight of the bottles is from 260 to 290 g, all made using the “facilitating” NNPB method. Previously, green containers were supplied to our consumers from factories located in the European part of Russia, Sibsteklo will strive to replace their products with its own.

Currently, Sibsteklo is the only company producing brown and green bottles (green is also used for packaging mineral water) in Siberia and the Far East. By providing customers of the Novosibirsk region with glass containers produced here, Sibsteklo will enable them to reduce logistics costs and also support the volume of bottling drinks in the region.
