The project to rebuild the Châteauroux, France, furnace has come to an end. Production resumed Tuesday 23 August, on schedule.
This colossal project, which involved more than 30 companies and 120 people in total for 60 days, allows La Maison Française du Verre to restart with a renovated, more efficient and less energy consuming furnace.
La Maison Française du Verre is the manufacturer of Pyrex® and Duralex®, world-famous brands of cooking utensils and tableware, in glass. Created in 1915, Pyrex® is known for its borosilicate glass, ultra resistant to heat.
