From the Heat of Paraná to the Heart of Georgia — Our IS Teams Never Stops!


Our IS Production specialists have just wrapped up a defining mission in Paraná, Brazil, playing a pivotal role in one of the industry's most exciting challenges: the ramping up of a Greenfield Plant.


There is nothing quite like the energy of a new factory coming to life. For the past couple of weeks, our team has been on the shop floor during the critical first phase of production.



Building Competence from Day One


A Greenfield startup is about more than just machinery; it’s about people. Our mission in Brazil went beyond stabilizing the forming process. We focused on:


  • Side-by-side collaboration with the new local production team,


  • Real-time troubleshooting during the initial ramp-up,


  • Transferring know-how to ensure the local operators are confident and autonomous.


  • We didn't just help start the machines; we helped build the foundation for the plant’s future efficiency.





No Time to Unpack


In this industry, expertise is always in demand. The team is skipping the flight home and heading directly from South America to the USA to kick off their next assignment in Georgia. From a Greenfield startup in Brazil to high-level support in the States, it’s a testament to the versatility and dedication of our engineers.


“Até Logo, Brasil”


Leaving Paraná is bittersweet, but it’s certainly not "goodbye." The Paraná team was amazing and the Hospitality incredible!



The invitation to return is already on the table, and we are looking forward to heading back soon to see the progress of the local team.


Safe travels to our road warriors and full steam ahead for the Georgia project!




Sincerely,Management Team, Empak

Well… that’s a wrap, folks! 2025 challenged us in ways we hadn’t expected — and still turned into one of our strongest years yet.


This year demanded resilience. Global uncertainty, shifting markets, and a decline in glass consumption across Europe reshaped the landscape for everyone in our industry. Yet instead of slowing down, we adapted.


We strengthened our presence in the American and Australian markets, and those strategic steps made all the difference — helping us close 2025 as our second-best year ever.


And that’s something we’re incredibly proud of.

Across Empak and ENNION, every office stepped up. We operated as one team, sharing knowledge, tackling complex challenges, and delivering projects that pushed boundaries.


ENNIONSTUDIO also continued to mature its skills, turning bold ideas into industrial reality at a speed that blends design creativity with deep technical expertise.


And Empakglass was once again officially recognised among the TOP 5% of Small and Medium-Sized Companies in Portugal, reinforcing our competitive edge!


To our colleagues past and present that always believed in us and to our clients who trust us with their challenges: thank you. You shape who we are more than any number or milestone.



2026 is already opening its doors and we are bringing back our Lisbon Open Seminars!


Here’s to a year that tested us, strengthened us, and prepared us for what’s next. Here’s to building a future where glass is smarter, production is cleaner, and collaboration knows no borders.


Onward to 2026 — with hope, ambition, and the confidence of a team that keeps delivering.





Sincerely, Management Team, Empak & ENNIONSTUDIO

As Empak Bulgaria concludes its current mandate with Rubin Glass, we reflect on a partnership that began in 2021 and has grown into one of the strongest examples of what Empakglass delivers: sustainable know-how, modern processes, and resilient teams.


From the begining of the journey, Rubin Glass placed its trust in us — and together we built a full-process support structure across all key areas of container glass production:


🔹 Batch & Glass Composition Development

🔹 Hot End Process Optimisation & Organisational Structure

🔹 Cold End & Quality Assurance

🔹 Mould Design Expertise & Internal Team Development

🔹 Shopfloor Training & Skills Advancement


Throughout these years, Rubin Glass evolved from a plant facing technical uncertainties into a manufacturer capable of taking on major strategic steps — including the construction of a new furnace and the introduction of AIS technology.


Empakglass supported each phase: from hot end forming machine selection, to Emhart Research Center trials, to commissioning and startup. The foundation is now in place, and Rubin Glass has the capability to continue its development with confidence.


As we step back from day-to-day involvement, our role naturally shifts from operators inside the process to partners on the outside — available when strategic guidance or deeper support is needed.


Because our philosophy has always been clear:

Empakglass builds capabilities, strengthens teams, and ensures the knowledge remains — long after our daily work is done.


To the Rubin Glass management and every shopfloor professional who walked this journey with us: thank you for the trust, the dialogue, and the shared commitment to improvement.


Your next chapter begins — and we’ll be here, ready to support when the road ahead calls for it.


This is Empakglass.


Building capability. Enabling independence. Always by your side. 💪🔥





We look forward to new challenges and to continuing our mission of finding smart, effective solutions for the Glass Industry!
