Pochet du Courval, the division of the Pochet Group that has been an expert in shaping and decorating glass for 400 years, has stated an objective to reduce CO2 emissions of its production by 50% by 2033 offering decarbonized glass to its clients. The Guimerville plant, located in Normandy, France, is an industrial flagship that manufactures and decorates more than one million glass bottles and jars every day for the most prestigious perfume and beauty brands.
Fives, a market leader in all-electric melting technologies, will design and supply an electric furnace for the Guimerville plant.

The melter is designed based on Fives’ significant electric melting operational experience.
