New standard for production and sustainability at Heinz-Glas

Fives was entrusted by Heinz-Glas to install a new all-electric furnace at their Piesau plant in Germany.

Heinz-Glas wanted to replace its old gas furnace with Fives’ all-electric melting technology to produce luxury cosmetic bottles for the glass packaging industry. To address this need, Fives installed its Prium® E-Melt technology, which offers reduced emissions and increased energy efficiency to significantly decarbonize glass production. 

The furnace installation was part of Heinz-Glas’ commitment to create a more sustainable industry and reduce CO2 emissions on site. Since becoming operational at the end of 2024, the new furnace can produce 70 tpd, setting a new standard for both production and sustainability. 

DECARBONIZED INDUSTRY

This project reaffirms Fives’ dedication to Change for Good and make the glass industry more sustainable. 

"It has been a rewarding experience working with the Heinz-Glas team to successfully deliver this project within a healthy timeline. We are proud to have helped them take a significant step toward reducing their CO2 emissions in glass melting and add another electric melter to our growing portfolio," says Barry Higley, Senior Project Manager at Fives Stein Ltd.
