The focus at PGP was about the packaging capacity boost at the Kosamba facility
The glass major has introduced Shikhar, an exclusive, aesthetically designed customer interaction area. This upgraded facility aims to offer premium customers a more personalised and enhanced experience.
Readers of WhatPackaging? will recall that PGP Glass had announced the commissioning of a new 120-tonne-per-day (TPD) furnace at its Kosamba facility. The new furnace, housed within a four-acre greenfield project, marks an advancement in glass melting technology for the company. Supplied by German firm HORN, the facility is engineered to produce extra flint glass, adhering to the stringent quality requirements of premium international customers.
The capacity boost reinforces PGP Glass’s position as an industry leader in sustainability. As the PGP Glass team informed WhatPackaging? magazine, "The new building adheres to stringent green building standards, with official third-party certification pending. Innovative technologies have been integrated to minimise water consumption and reduce the plant’s carbon footprint."
In September, the Kosamba site secured the prestigious EcoVadis Platinum Rating for the third consecutive year, placing PGP Glass among the top 1% of companies worldwide recognised for sustainable practices. In addition, the company also received a Leadership A Band rating from CDP for 2024, reflecting strong performance in climate change and water security.
The message from the Cosmprof show was, PGP Glass can deliver efficient, sustainable, and high-quality glass.
