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!

In today’s competitive container glass market, fillers are demanding tighter control, more transparency, and greater stability from their packaging supply chain. To meet these expectations, Empakglass has deployed its Concept+ integrated support program, combining the strengths of both Hot End and Cold End & Quality engineering into a single, unified onsite service.
This week, two Empakglass Service Engineers — one specialised in Hot End process optimisation and one focused on Cold End and Quality — are working shoulder-to-shoulder inside a major container glass plant in South Korea. Their mandate comes directly from the filler of the jars, ensuring that production meets standards and expectations of the brand owner whose products will ultimately reach consumers.
A Full-Line Support Approach
Concept+ goes beyond traditional troubleshooting. Our engineers are embedded along the entire production line, observing, analyzing and supporting real-time operations from gob to pallet. By combining expertise across both ends of the process, Empakglass delivers a holistic view that individual departments inside the factory often cannot access.
Hot End Expertise
At the Hot End, our Service Engineer applies advanced diagnostic tools, including high-resolution thermal cameras, to evaluate mould temperatures, glass distribution, forming stability, shear performance, and gob delivery. Through frequent thermal audits and data capture, we highlight temperature imbalances, forecast future defects, and recommend practical adjustments aligned with industry best practices.
These insights are compiled into actionable suggestions, helping the plant stabilise forming conditions, reduce defects, and improve pack-to-melt ratios.
Cold End & Quality Support
Downstream, our Cold End & Quality engineer monitors inspection equipment efficiency, tracks defect trends, analyses rejection patterns, and supports the plant’s QA team. The goal is simple: ensure the final product meets filler expectations in appearance, strength, and consistency, with traceability that reinforces confidence in every jar produced.
From camera inspection tuning to sampling plans, dimensional checks, and defect root-cause identification, our engineer brings strong Cold End know-how directly to the production floor.
Working for the Filler – A Neutral, Knowledge-Driven Perspective
Because the mandate comes from the filler, Empakglass operates as an independent, neutral set of expert eyes inside the glass plant. This unique position allows our team to:
represent the filler’s interests objectively
support continuous improvement across departments
ensure alignment between production reality and market requirements
foster transparent technical communication between all stakeholders
Delivering Best Practices – The Heart of Concept+
Empakglass’s Concept+ is built on one philosophy: experience becomes more valuable when shared.
Throughout their mission, our engineers consolidate observations from Hot End and Cold End into unified recommendations. These reflect global best practices in forming, inspection, and process stability — not generic advice, but tailored solutions addressing the specific conditions of the South Korean plant.
Driving Quality from Start to Finish
By joining forces onsite, Empakglass Service Engineers provide the plant and the filler with something rare in the industry: a continuous, connected technical support chain that spans from molten glass to final packaging.
This is Concept+ in action — integrated knowledge, modern tools, and frontline presence, all aimed at delivering stable, efficient, defect-reduced production that meets the filler’s expectations consistently.
We look forward to new challenges and to continuing our mission of finding smart, effective solutions for the Glass Industry!
