Ciner Glass Belgium NV, a subsidiary of Ciner Glass, has decided to establish a glass packaging factory in Lommel, Belgium.
The production capacity of the factory will be approximately half a million tonnes of glass packaging per year, with an investment of approximately 400 million EUR. The project will also create employment for 400 to 500 people.
Ciner Glass plans to use sand extracted in the region as raw materials, while recycled glass will be another source of raw material. Quartz sand producer Sibelco is located approximately 14 km from the new factory.
