An ice-cold beer or a nice glass of wine every now and then, we are fans! But have you ever thought about the manufacturing process of a glass bottle? We have! In fact, it is our daily work to optimize the production process of glass bottles and jars for our customers in the global glass packaging industry.
XPAR Vision develops, installs and implements unique sensor and robot technology, helping companies in the glass industry, to meet the high demands of quality of companies like Heineken and Coca-Cola, to make glass products lighter, stronger and with a lower carbon footprint. We have already installed more than 600 systems in over 35 countries, making us a specialist and market leader.
We believe that glass is the best packaging material in terms of experience, quality and, above all, durability. Our goal is therefore that more and more food manufacturers opt for glass as packaging material. Which directly contributes to a more sustainable world: minimizing the carbon footprint and load on our environment.
