Our new client is the Swiss Vaider Group, a dynamic and diverse organisation with a strong presence in the glass industry. The group operates in the glass packaging industry, with marketing and business services related to glass and raw materials trading for glass production.
The Vaider Group owns the Serbian glass factory in Paracin. The group decided to modernise production by building a new production furnace. It will strengthen its position in the packaging glass market for the food and beverage industry.
Our client received a building permit to overhaul the furnace and existing production lines, following technological requirements and the goal of increasing production.
The contractor is demolishing the existing furnace, which has a capacity of 230 tons per day and a working life of 8-10 years, to replace it with a new furnace boasting a capacity of 280 tons per day. In addition, the contractor is replacing the output channels from the furnace – feeders and IS machines equipped with moulds for shaping the hot mass. The plan is to replace the existing four production lines with three. These lines consist of glass reheating furnaces – chambers for gradually cooling glass products – and machines for inspection and sorting.
Construction supervision by Oktopaz for this project encompasses architecture, building materials and structures, water supply and sewerage, fire safety, medium and low voltage electrical systems, and mechanical building services.
We eagerly anticipate the project finishing designed to enhance the business environment for a distinguished new client.
