Verescence's flagship site in Mers Les Bains inaugurates its largest oven

Verescence, the world leader in bottles for the perfume and cosmetics industries, inaugurated on November 14th a new oven and presented the numerous improvements made on its site in Mers-Les-Bains (Somme).
As part of the "Excellence 2018" program and more specifically "Mers 2018" dedicated to the transformation of the Mers site, a budget of 30 million euros has been allocated to modernize the plant, including 11 million for the reconstruction of furnace 6.
Inaugurated after major work that reduced energy consumption by 15% and CO2 emissions by more than 40%, the reconstruction of furnace 6 reflects one of the axes of the group's CSR strategy in reducing its environmental impact.
This furnace is the largest in the group and one of the largest bottle furnaces in the world with a production capacity of 700,000 bottles per day. It produces Xtra White glass, a glass of exceptional quality highly appreciated by the perfume industry for its brilliance and transparency.
The reconstruction was also an opportunity to modernize the entire production area by making numerous improvements in terms of both efficiency and working conditions. This has been complemented by other developments offering more modern and pleasant working and rest areas for the site's employees.
Verescence is the only glassmaker in its sector to have obtained certification for Good Manufacturing Practices for cosmetics on all its sites in Europe, in order to meet the increasingly demanding expectations of its customers.
