Vietnam prepares site for Czech glass plant

The Czech Republic’s REF company and European Safe Glass Joint Stock company will build a glass packaging plant in Trieu Phong district, Quang Tri province.

Jan Strunc, general director of REF, told the deputy minister of Industry Trade, Ho Thi Kim Thoa, that the company will use around 400-500 tonnes of sand per day and generate jobs for around 500 local people.

The plant will have a design capacity of 220 tonnes of products per day in the first phase and 500 tonnes of products per day in the second phase. It will apply modern technology in producing glass bottles of different shapes and sizes.

The Czech Republic, famous for producing high quality crystal and glass products, will soon have new products made in Vietnam; not only for domestic use but also for exports to regional countries.
