Gerresheimer AG has completed an expansion and modernization project at its Lohr site with a total investment volume of around €100 million.
The core of the project was the replacement of one of the two melting tanks with an oxy-hybrid melting tank. This has a higher capacity than the previous furnace and can be operated with up to 50% electricity.
According to the company, the modernization and expansion project at the Lohr site is one of Gerresheimer's largest investments in the Moulded Glass Division in recent years. With around 500 employees, the company produces a wide range of glass products made of white and amber glass in Lohr - from syrup, dropper, tablet and infusion bottles for the pharmaceutical industry to glass containers and bottles for the food and beverage industry.
The plant is one of three Moulded Glass plants in Germany and a total of eight Moulded Glass plants of the Gerresheimer Group worldwide.
