Through the looking glass with AGI Glaspac

Glass is classy. Also it makes money. At the recent Cosmoprof show, we picked three data points. That glass packaging is expected to grow at 3.7% globally between 2021-28 - and it is driven by the alco-bev segment. And finally the Indian market saw a CAGR of 5.5% last year; primarily driven by glass cosmetic bottles.

This brings us to AGI Glaspac where glass drives more than 65% of its revenue. A year ago, the company launched commercial operations at its Bhongir plant, specialising in high-quality glass premium segment with a special focus on perfumery and cosmetic industries.

Premium wine bottles for Indian brands

Crafting high-quality wine bottles, similar to those used for premium wines like Chianti, involves tackling a few technical challenges. It starts with getting the glass mix right - maintaining the wine's flavour while ensuring the bottle is sturdy. The shape of the bottle matters for both practicality and appearance.

Balancing the weight is crucial; it should feel solid without being heavy, enhancing the overall experience. Proper sealing is essential to preserve the wine's taste. Labels need to fit well without compromising looks or durability.

Additionally, AGI caters to specific requests from some of the Indian clients, producing bottles similar to the iconic Chianti bottles tailored to their preferences. The bottle should handle different temperatures smoothly to maintain the wine's quality.

AGI Glaspac produces beer containers in amber, green and flint colours throughout the year in (narrow neck press and blow) and blowblow (BB) technologies, for major customers in India and some European customers.

The company has integrated electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) in most of its plants. This integration mitigates air pollution, ensuring that emissions align with standards. Solar power installations are operational at the manufacturing facilities, anticipated to yield an annual reduction of 16,000 tonnes per annum in CO2 emissions.
