Heye International - Glasstec Review 2012

Date: 1 November 2012

We are Glass People – Heye’s new slogan, synonymous for Heye’s mission, was introduced in Duesseldorf. Visitors at Heye’s booth discussed the innovations in Hot End and in Cold End.

The Ranger camera check detection system, the Simotion Compact, new features of the Heye Process Control and the HiSHIELD Plant Management System were the highlights.

Many guests took the opportunity to a plant tour to the Ardagh premises in Obernkirchen. There, a new furnace with new IS-Machines and five Cold End lines, equipped with the Ranger camera check detection system, were in the center of attraction. Additionally, the Heye International headquarters with their training facility were visited.


Heye thanks all visitors for many fruitful conversations and contacts!
