End-of-year review
In a fiscal year dominated by a massive market downturn, we positioned ourselves as a strong market player and exerted a decisive influence on the evolution of the glass industry. Thanks to our innovative strength – coupled with the profound engagement of our employees and a business model that is geared to sustainability – we achieved some notable successes in 2023.
The Vetropack Group faced challenges in the 2023 fiscal year on account of the volatile and tense market environment. As in the past, we were confronted yet again with high energy prices, and we felt the effects of inflation and the impacts of the war in Europe. Subdued consumer sentiment made its mark on the packaging industry as a whole. We nevertheless successfully drove innovations (such as Echovai) ahead, and we deepened our commitment to sustainability. Click on the picture below or follow this link to watch a video showing some of the milestones that gave us particular cause for celebration, proving that we are on the right track:
These are some of the events you can see in the video:
We resumed glass production at our Ukrainian plant in Gostomel at the end of May, and the Vetropack Foundation Gostomel demonstrated solidarity with our employees who were impacted by the war.
Echovai, our exceptionally stable lightweight glass bottle that is economical on materials and manufactured in a sustainable process, won the Swiss Packaging Award 2023.
As another stage in the integration of our Chișinău plant, we published the Romanian-language versions of our website and catalogue.
To mark the 140th anniversary of Moravia Glass, our plant in the Czech Republic, we installed our first servo-driven electric glass-blowing machine. As well as reducing energy consumption, the new machine will operate to the highest standards of precision.
In connection with the Zero CO2 project, we conducted experiments on changing the raw material input for glass production. By eliminating soda, glass can be manufactured with lower emissions.
In autumn, we celebrated the opening of our new site at Boffalora sopra Ticino, Italy. This impressive state-of-the-art plant features eight production lines and offers high production capacity.
At the end of the year, we showcased our exceptionally stable returnable bottles at BrauBeviale, the trade fair for the European beverage industry.
These positive events – in parallel with the implementation of our Strategy 2030 – will help us to strengthen our market position in 2024.
