Gomel glassmakers master new European markets. Success secrets and plans for the future

New markets are conquered by Gomel glassmakers. The capacities of the largest production facility in Eastern Europe are now fully loaded. At a time when the world began to revive after the coronavirus stagnation, the plant managed to significantly increase its order book.

When a glass furnace is in operation, the temperature in the workshop goes off scale, and even just standing nearby is another test. But this is not necessary: the operator monitors the process from the office through a video camera. Full automation and the ability to control remotely.

Glass production is a long and complicated process. At the exit from the furnace, the sheet thickness is formed. Then firing, cutting and moving to the main lines. The modern coated glass production line is one of the largest investment projects in the country's construction industry. Capacity - up to eight million square meters of products per year. The output is energy-saving, multifunctional and solar-protective glass. World-class quality. Check with bright light.

Gomel glass is in demand not only in the domestic market, but also abroad. Scope of application - construction: production of double-glazed windows and glazing of buildings. Today it is a popular brand in more than twenty countries. 80% of production is exported: Russia, Ukraine, the Baltic countries, Poland, deliveries to Hungary and Romania are being prepared. And now is the time to sell. In the midst of a pandemic, the plant maintained a high pace of work, and when neighboring countries lifted quarantine restrictions, Belarus immediately offered its products. Hence the high demand - the team works in three shifts.

Innovative products are the result of the modernization carried out. More than 300 million euros have been invested in the re-equipment of production. In fact, the old glass factory turned into a completely new enterprise, employing two thousand people. Who today are not only busy with what they love, but also make plans for the future. One of the immediate tasks is to improve quality and further increase production volumes.
