PGP Glass has launched its Kosamba plant in January 2025, leveraging HORN’s advanced technology for high-quality, sustainable glass production.

The Indian premium supplier PGP Glass Private Limited has successfully begun operations at its plant in Kosamba, India, at the end of January 2025.

In this greenfield project, glass melting technology specialist HORN has equipped the new production facility with the latest manufacturing technology and machinery to produce high-quality cosmetic container glass products in flint. 

The new environmental friendly furnace is designed for a pull of 120 t/d. PGP Glass' plant produces glass packaging for industries including pharmaceutical, cosmetics and perfumery.

The in-house developed HORN E-Fusion Power Boosting System as well as the HORN glass level measuring system HRD-BEAM are applied in this project to provide sustainable and high-quality technology in glass production.

Under the construction supervision of HORN together with its subsidiary company HORN India Pvt. Ltd. and India´s Super Furnace Works, the new furnace was successfully commissioned on 23th January 2025.

The good collaboration and integration of PGP´s project teams with the HORN team once again underlines their long-standing partnership in contributing to further reduce carbon emissions while maintaining a high glass quality.
