Pochet’s journey to electric melting
Discover the story behind this ambitious project and how both companies are working together to make luxury glass production more sustainable.
- A shared ambition: Pochet aims to reduce its CO₂ emissions by 50% by 2033 and offer its customers lower-carbon glass.
- A major technological shift: at Pochet du Courval’s Guimerville plant in Normandy, a traditional gas-fired furnace has been replaced by a fully electric Prium® E-Melt cold-top vertical melter – the first all-electric furnace dedicated to luxury glassmaking in France.
- A new approach to luxury glass: the project combines electrification, technological innovation and close collaboration to maintain the demanding quality standards of luxury glass while reducing its environmental footprint.
From the first discussions to the implementation of the new furnace, the project illustrates how innovation and collaboration can turn ambitious sustainability goals into industrial reality.
