Saverglass glass pride

At the heart of the glass production department, production employees are extremely proud of producing exceptional quality products. Saverglass' unadorned glass has a worldwide reputation for its shine, clarity and purity; the quality of the decoration gives the Saverglass finished product a unique position on the market. A Saverglass bottle – whether bare or decorated – is like no other bottle.

A quality requirement

The production departments work to guarantee optimum quality, supported by glass production expertise and unrivalled decoration know-how. The production employees maintain a level of quality on a daily basis, which brings value to their work and makes it attractive.

Diversity of production roles

The allocated teams work in 4 x 8 shifts to ensure constant production 24/7. Under the responsibility of a supervisor, the machine operators together with the technicians, setters and finishers are in charge of bottle production. 

Upstream, the founders ensure the quality of the raw materials mix and their fusion, as well as controlling the ovens. The feedermen ensure the quality of the glass gob during fusion, which is inserted in the molds for shaping.

The production teams rely on peripheral roles: mold fitters, glass production machine maintenance technicians, and the adjusters and turners in the molding workshop.

Bare glass machine
operator

The force behind the glassmaking

The “bare glass” machine operator has direct contact with bottle production. They ensure that the IS machine (glass production machine) operates correctly and is well maintained, check the fall of the glass gob during fusion into the mold, regularly grease the molds, and periodically sample the bottles to check their compliance with the specifications sheet (size, quality, etc.). They are the force behind the glassmaking.

Knowledge and experience

The operator plays a fundamental role in the production quality chain as they are the first to observe the correct formation of the bottle. The highest level of production quality depends on their involvement and skills. This position requires expertise and experience combining technical knowledge of the machine and glassmaking defects.

Founder

Guaranteeing the Saverglass recipe

The purity of Saverglass glass is ensured firstly during the mix of raw materials. Within the component-fusion department, the founder is the person who ensures the success of Saverglass' recipe. Ensuring the quality of the glass produced is the first step in Saverglass’ industrial excellence process.

Oven operator

Once the mixture is placed in the oven, the founder checks the fusion of the materials. This stage requires true glassmaking know-how. Operating an oven involves controlling the condition of the glass melt, the effect of the flame and the refractories, and continually adjusting all the fusion parameters: temperature, hygrometry, etc.

Leading a team in a common project
