For its new container glass plant in Brazil, Vidroporto chose Zippe, Horn, Bucher Emhart Glass and MSK Verpackung for the design, supply, erection and start-up of the whole production unit.

The four members of the Glass Alliance have been chosen by Vidroporto for the construction of its brand new container glass plant in Porto Ferreira, Brazil. The start-up of the factory is due in 2014.

This project is considered a “Glass Alliance project”, and presents an opportunity to demonstrate the close cooperation of the four members in terms of smooth work flow and financial risks mitigation.

All interfaces between each section of the hot and cold ends are managed by the four members, while the overall project management remains in the hands of Vidroporto.

The project was officially launched by Vidroporto in July, 2013.
