BDF COLLABORATES WITH SAVERGLASS

FOR ITS FIFTH PRODUCTION PLANT

With more than 30 years of collaboration and partnership between BDF Industries and Saverglass, the
fifth production unit of Saverglass has equipment from BDF.
Present in 80 countries around the world, and one of the leaders of top of the range machinery for the
hollow glass market, Saverglass Group has decided once again to collaborate with BDF Industries for the
machinery and equipment for its fifth production unit.
To intensify its production, and make its product range even more interesting for the American market,
in 2018, in fact, Saverglass inaugurated its new production unit in Jalisco, near Guadalajara, Mexico – a
strategic position to reduce delivery times for the US and Canada, the Caribbean, and Central America.
BDF Industries has been working side by side with Saverglass for over 30 years, enabling the group to
enhance its development of top of the range products and expansion in the area. All companies of the group,
in fact, have BDF equipment, such as IS machines, furnace and forehearths controls.
For this new and ultra-modern Mexican plant – which Saverglass considers as fundamental for its
development in that area – BDF was chosen as the sole supplier of machinery, automation and service,
confirming not only the ‘historical’ trust, but also growth in engineering,
design and production of these two companies.
In this important project, BDF has supplied Saverglass with equipment
covering divisions such as melting, forming and automation, ensuring
high process performance, resulting in the highest quality glass
containers. Machinery installed at Saverglass’ new Mexican plant
includes:
t GPVS *4 NBDIJOFT BOE WBSJBCMF FRVJQNFOU
t GVSOBDF QSFTTVSF BOE JOWFSTJPO WBMWFT BT XFMM CBUDI DIBSHFST TUJSSFS
NFDIBOJTNT
t DPOUSPM BOE JOTUSVNFOUBUJPO GPS GVSOBDF BOE DIBOOFMT
Last but not least, BDF also guaranteed complete installation and
assistance with its specialized engineers.
