Lommel is currently building one of the most modern and sustainable glass factories in Europe. With an investment of hundreds of millions of euros and the creation of more than 500 jobs, this project is a significant driver for the regional economy.

The factory will specialize in the production of high-quality packaging glass and will utilize the latest technologies in energy efficiency, safety, and circularity. Sustainability is central: glass is infinitely recycled and thus reintroduced into the production process.
