Mould Design / Product Development Workshop in Sundsvall - by Bucher Emhart Glass

From the 14th to the 18th of November the city of Sundsvall (Sweden) was home of another successful Mould design/Product Development Workshop organized by Bucher Emhart Glass in collaboration with Empakglass.

Dominique Vassaux from Bucher Emhart Glass and Pedro Pontes from Empakglass, have conducted this 5 day training workshop. The participants learned the current common product / parison / mould design development rules and technologies used within the mould design / production workflow.

This seminar was attended with participants from Italy (Zignago Vetro) and Russia (Ruscam).

This multicultural set-up was much appreciated since it gave the opportunity to exchange experiences within people from different glass container plants within the same - or related - field of work and even from different backgrounds.
