This longstanding collaboration consists in close support from Tiama’s team in all Şişecam Glass Packaging hollow glass activities to solve the fastest possible, the daily difficulties and subsequently improve quality and productivity.
With this new installation, all the carousel machines in the three Şişecam Glass Packaging Turkish factories will be equipped with Tiama’s ATLAS system by the end of 2016. Sişecam Glass Packaging will therefore become the world’s biggest user of ATLAS with 92 machines installed.
The main benefits of the Tiama ATLAS system are attested: adjustability, reduced job-change time, reduced human factor on the quality of settings and quick payback.
Şişecam Glass Packaging already benefited from the TIAMA’s after-sales international network with two local engineers available to ensure proximity and support of the Turkish customer’s needs.
