Glass containers

SSV has always partnered with companies in developing innovation and providing technical assistance for improving products and production processes for glass containers. It addresses issues of interest throughout the supply chain, collaborating not only with glass companies but also with raw material producers, equipment manufacturers, processors, national and European industry associations and institutions, and companies using glass containers in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and perfumery industries.
