Schott, a manufacturer of pharmaceutical glass and packaging, is investing €20m to build a new glass tank at Indian manufacturing plant in Jambusar, Gujarat.

Schott is building the new tank facility to expand its production capacity and meet the increasing demand for quality pharmaceutical packaging material in the global market.

Schott Glass India managing director Georg Sparschuh said: “We feel proud that SCHOTT’s manufacturing journey is a resounding success story of ”Make in India” campaign wherein not only world class products are manufactured for domestic and export markets, but also new talents are nurtured in the process.”

The firm has started construction work on the new tank facility, and is expected to be operational by January 2020.

The new tank facility at the Indian facility will be used for the production of premium borosilicate glass tubing such as Fiolax clear.

Fiolax clear will be used in producing pharmaceutical packaging, specifically vials and ampoules for India and export markets.

As part of the production network within the firm’s tubing business unit, the new tank will be installed with advanced machinery similar to all other tubing factories across the globe.

The firm’s Indian plant serves as a production hub for its pharmaceutical tubing in Asia and manufactures Fiolax pharmaceutical tubing.
