Container glass bottle manufacturer AGI glaspac on Monday inaugurated a new manufacturing facility at its Bhongir plant.
Set up amid growing demand in speciality glass segment, the 154 tonnes per day (TPD) facility has started producing clear glass products that are primarily used for packaging cosmetics and perfumery, pharmaceuticals, premium spirits, food and beverages and also to make water bottles and candle jars.
The facility is expected to provide employment to 350 people and reduce dependence on imports and promote sustainability by encouraging various user-industries to choose glass over plastic in terms of packaging, said AGI, which is the packaging products division of HSIL Ltd. Besides India, the new unit will also serve foreign markets.
