Well...that is it, Folks! Another year goes by!


2023 provided Empak and ENNION a new set of challenges!


We grew our team (once again....that it required us to have in fact three Christmas dinners!), we had more trainings than ever before and curiously several of them combining already different deparments inside a glass plant.


It is with a huge sense of pride and joy that we see the interaction in between our Bulgarian and Portuguese offices reaching a level of maturity with several projects made already in close partnership. And the best part, the sense of Team Spirit building up! How do we see it...well.... projects are running without requiring a micromanagement approach.


But did you know what although trainings are the most visible part of what Empak and ENNION do and is present on our Media Blogs, in fact that is a marginal part of our mission?


In fact our core is to develop glass container concepts from scratch and make them reach industrialization, in a fast pace by combining our conceptual design Know-how with our field work technical experience.


That is why what we do best is to bridge the gap in between fillers and glass plants! And we will continue to work on that sense to provide even a more holistic approach to our clients in 2024!










In a more personal note, the year ends with a very sad news, our esteemed friend and former BA GLASS colleague, José Silva Santos, a person with whom we have worked very closely first when in BA's Industrial Projects team and in the last few years already within Empak's, has passed away. We will be keeping very fond memories of all the joy and hapiness Silva Santo's could bring into a room!


This shows that even with the successes in our working life, everything comes into perspective when we are faced with these moments. We need to have Quality Time to spend with our loved ones and create good memories for the Future. As one of our IS colleagues used to say..."ENJOY LIFE!"


To all our current and former colleagues, our clients that continue to believe and challenge us, we can only say that we are looking forward to 2024, to be challenged and to help finding solutions to your projects!


Sincerely, Management Team, Empak & ENNIONSTUDIO

Just before entering Christmas and New Year Holiday Season, curiously the final onsite assignment of 2023 was in Portugal!



ree


Empakglass IS Team led by Yordan Kamenov and Yordan Paskulov, from our Bulgarian Branch was invited by Verallia Portugal to perform an IS training, having as background the beautiful city of Figueira da Foz.






We were really surprised by the level of participation with nearly 70 attendees and for the first time ever, we had to translate a training into Portuguese!



ree



Starting from the glass and its properties, then glass conditioning, proper gob loading and IS timing combined with a good mould design and mould maintenance, several simulations were demonstrated in BB, WMPB and NNPB.



ree


Also, we had the possibility to use a training monossection and practiced several movements setups combining with swabbing techniques. Combining this with defect analysis, is definitely the way to improve efficiencies.



ree


Our deep thanks to the participants which provided a huge level of passion and interest onto the subjects, something that truly makes IS Production such an important aspect on the Supply Chain of Container Glass Industry.


And also for having invited Empak Team to Verallia's Christmas Dinner! Was an Honour!



In the end, we had the chance to pass by Nazaré, to spot some big waves. Wasn't the best of the season, but already some quite respectful size waves!



ree


We leave here a video with a few glimpses of some waves you may find there.







From ourside, we are looking forward to be challenged and continue to help finding solutions!



See you next time!


Sincerely,


All Empakglass Team!

Empak held in Novi Prazar, Bulgaria a Glass Conditioning, Batch & Furnaces training with New Glass SA.



ree


New glass EAD is a part of the Greek group Hellenic glass industry and dedicates to the production of Tableware.


ree

Starting with the building blocks of batch formulation, corresponding glass properties and interlinking it with production setting, by using Empak's Batch & Furnace Simulator (PAKTOOLS) several operational simulations were performed including color changes analysis.


ree


It was very exciting to see a combination of skilled technical staff in partnership with a new generation eager to learn from the basics of glass making until the new technological approaches.


ree


It was also extremely important to be able to look into more detail onto the Press Machines, H28 machines with Stretching for StemWare which is something we don't look often in Glass Container production, but it does provide a huge amount of transferable ideas in between these two branches of glass making!



ree


As a final note, and although Empak is mostly known for working in IS machines, we do have also the set of skills on tableware production!


So, please challenge us also on that!


Finally and as part of Empak's tradition, we try as much as possible to visit local historical and emblematic locations. This time was no exception! For a foreigner as myself, the best possible description of the Founders of the Bulgarian State Monument is like visiting Cybertron. For a Fan of Transformers was an absolutely delightful experience!







See you next time!


Sincerely,


All Empakglass Team!
