Saverglass products are sold in more than 100 countries around the world, serving more than 26,000 customers on three continents. Built to meet the growing demand for high-end bottles for the wine and spirits markets in the Americas, Furnace 13 made it possible to double the production capacity of the Acatlán de Juarez plant in Mexico. With its 7 production lines, including 5 operational from launch and 2 more in pre-implementation, this new furnace can produce up to 410 tonnes per day.
The Acatlán site, now operating with Furnaces 12 and 13, has 11 production lines, capable of producing up to 600 tonnes per day, with a target workforce of 900 employees. The total capacity therefore increases to 200,000 tonnes of glass per year (60,000 tonnes previously), an increase of 150 percent of the factory.
This expansion of Saverglass Mexico solidified the plant’s position as the largest luxury glass bottle production site in the world.
