Ciner Glass is investing in a new greenfield container glass plant in Lommel, Belgium, and construction work is underway.
We are collaborating closely with our European partners to ensure the successful completion of the project. Today, the company is excited to have signed the machinery equipment contract for the new container glass plant at Lommel, Belgium.
Ciner Glass has selected the following providers to help construct the plant:
- Bottero – for the hot-end equipment (acting as the project leader)
- Lahti Glass Technology – for the batch plant
- TecoGlas – for the furnace
- E2Pack – for Cold End Packaging equipment
- Tiama – for Inspection machines
By 2027, two furnaces will be in operation at Lommel, with a total of 1,300 tonnes produced daily, and 430,000 tonnes of glass produced annually, developing more than 2 billion glass bottles.
Ciner Glass plans to invest over €600 million at Lommel, making it one of the biggest foreign investments in Belgium in the last ten years, creating more than 500 direct jobs and helping to serve the European glass market.
This investment will not only support economic growth but also contribute to a cleaner planet. Ciner Glass is committed to reducing its environmental footprint by providing customers with high-quality container glass, that is not only lighter but also produced with minimal energy consumption.
Mr Gökhan Şen, CEO of Ciner Glass, said:
“Today’s announcement shows the significant progress being made by our European team in developing a state-of-the-art, modern glass plant to help serve the European glass market.
“Our aim is to transfer the know-how we have nurtured in Park Cam to Belgium, with the latest clean-glass technologies, to produce sustainable, lightweight glass bottles. This will mean we can offer products with a low carbon footprint for our supply chain partners, end customers and the growing global glass markets.”
