Carbone-Lorraine, a world-leading carbon producer, says that a fast, local service and competitive “duty-free“ prices are among the benefits glass container manufacturers are experiencing since it acquired the hot-end handling business Cerberite at the beginning of 1999. Identified by Carbone-Lorraine as a product with considerable international potential, the hot end handling material has been in the spotlight at a series of “growth workshops“ throughout the group. According to a press release from Le Carbone (Great Britain) Limited, Cerberite product manager Tony Legood has provided training for sales teams in the UK, Europe, South America, Africa and Southeast Asia, giving them a practical understanding of the product and its benefits for the glass industry. As a consequence, Cerberite is now available to many customers around the world from the Carbone-Lorraine company in their own country, free from the language difficulties, time differences and delays that can make sourcing suppliers from overseas so frustrating. According to Le Carbone (Great Britain) Limited, having Cerberite available “on the spot“ is particularly advantageous for handling at the take-out position, where hardware and inserts are often changed frequently and at short notice between runs. Le Carbone (Great Britain) Limited is part of the Carbone-Lorraine group.
