Vitro and Allied Glass Containers, the Leeds based glass packaging specialist, have recently entered into a technical assistance agreement with Vitro, in which the United Kingdom company will provide a practical support programme, structured around the company’s knowledge and experience in the production of intricate bottle shapes. This commits Allied Glass Containers to providing a designated team of specialists, who will visit Vitro production facilities to give technical assistance, and providing bespoke training programmes at their two manufacturing sites in the UK. In addition, Allied Glass is also responsible for giving support in areas including the production of specification and mould drawings and 3D modeling for shaped containers. “We are honored to work with Allied Glass Containers in order to provide our current and future customers with the most innovative products that will allow them to be ahead of the consumers market trend”, said Alfonso Gomez Palacio, President of Vitro’s Glass Containers business unit. Richard Summers, who is the Operations Director at Allied Glass Containers’ Leeds, site says: “Here at Allied Glass we are very flattered to have been approached by Vitro to develop this support and development programme as it reflects our world-wide reputation for the production of intricate glass containers.” Vitro’s Glass Containers business has developed the distinctive ability to satisfy precisely its customers’ needs; this allows us to participate actively in several high-demanding niche markets, especially those showing growth potential, such as beverages, beer, wines and liquors, cosmetics and fragrances, among others.
