This topic is particularly relevant in the current economic conditions and the level of interest in it says the number of guests attending the event.

The conference was held showing the latest generation of equipment JSC Steklopak, including a new furnace forms of heating, annealing furnaces, applying a protective coating on the cold end, all types of conveyor equipment "cold end" production lines, automatic equipment palletizing and shrink packaging of glass.

One of the main problems, which was announced at the conference is that until recently, the glass factories were only two possible choices of technological equipment on the one hand - high-quality, but quite expensive equipment European producer groups, on the other hand - cheap, but not always high-quality Chinese equipment. This did not suit the glass container manufacturers.

However, at the moment, domestic glass container enterprises singing-wound can save serious financial resources with the purchase of European quality equipment, such as in the construction of complete new lines or even entire plants and the modernization and reconstruction of existing ones.

What was presented at the conference is one of the first examples of successful cooperation within the new group of companies offering the highest quality equipment at reasonable prices.

Almost all the equipment of JSC Steklopak, which was shown at the conference have already been shipped to the NW Chegem (Kabardino-Balkaria), where it will work in line with the glassware forming machine company Sklostroj (Czech Republic).

The main conclusion of the conference was the fact that at the moment almost all main process equipment, systems and services for glass plants, except glass-forming machines can be found in Russia. However, this gap in the import substitution help close the Czech partners - company Sklostroj.
