Stara Glass to rebuild Italian furnace

Published 16th June, 2021 by Greg Morris

Stara Glass is to rebuild a furnace at an Italian glass manufacturer.

Stara Glass performed an AZS Chips Repair to the furnace in 2020 and successfully extended the lifespan for well over 12 months.

This summer the Genoese team will carry out the draining, demolition, installation of refractories for the glass melting area, the forehearths and heat up of the furnace.

The company’s CEO said: “Our company aims at retaining its positioning in the marketplace as an innovative and efficient glass manufacturing excellence.

“Stara Glass’ commitment to R&D and diligent execution of site activities have been critical in this choice and we are glad to team up once again with our Italian partner.”
