Verallia will begin heat-up of additional Brazilian capacity shortly.

The French-headquartered glass packaging company confirmed the news last week

Its CEO Patrice Lucas said heat-up of a furnace at its Campo Bon facility in Brazil will begin in a few weeks, with first production by the end of June.

He said: “This additional capacity will allow us to pursue our growth in the dynamic Brazilian market.

"And this new furnace, a new advanced oxy-combustion technology will operate with an 18% CO2 emission reduction compared to a traditional furnace.”
