Another year bites the dust... Let us go now for 2019!

And what a year this was!!!

While our CEO, Pedro Pontes was (finally)... trying to learn to work with glass...

We've started new bases in San Diego, USA and Barcelona, Spain, to be one step closer to our clients.

New team members have joined the Empak Team...

Empakglass has become an Invited Lecturer in the University which is the birth place of the paper transitor (FCT-UNL)... to bridge the gap between Glass Technology and new mechanical and optical developments.

Our own Laboratory is allowing us to improve our mathematical glass models... that we use daily on our services.

Our partnerships with Tempsens Instruments and Parmacontrols have consolidated, showing the importance of having taken this further step in our Company's portfolio.

So... wait and see for what we will be preparing for 2019!

To all that have been helping with our Journey, our deep appreciation for the vote of confidence. We couldn't do it without You!

We want continue to be challenged by your projects and to continue to find solutions to your daily issues.

Thank you again for a great year!!!

By the way... to the one that are still waiting for our deliverables.... not today!!!

And for our colleagues that are at the moment working onsite... we left a piece of cake for you!

Sincerely,

Pedro Pontes, Hélder Remédios, Reinhard Boettger

Management Team, Empakglass

Empakglass Lectures in NOVA University

Following the tradition from previous years, Empakglass was engaged once more in the Lectures on Glass Container technology.

This year we were invited by Vicarte -Glass and Ceramic for the Arts, a research unit born from the partnership between Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa and the Faculty of Fine Arts . NOVA University is famous for being the birth place of the paper transistor.

The research at VICARTE connects the present and the past, by developing new materials for glass and ceramics contemporary art, by studying the traditional and historical production practices and the exploration of different aesthetical concepts in art.

The goal was to bring closer the reality of this industrial process and the application of Materials Engineering all across the process and who knows, to plant the seed for the future generation that will lead this Industry.

These lectures were part of an Exhibition on Glass Container History from the 18th century in the vicinity of Lisbon, developed by Students and Professors on the Master Course in Conservation and Restauration of FCT NOVA.

We are really looking forward for next year's Lectures!
