US Longhorn Glass Inc. is now back in full production after completing a USD 40 million upgrade and expansion to its Houston bottle manufacturing facility. The glass plant now has one of the fastest glass-forming machines in the world, enabling Longhorn to increase production to 700 bottles per minute from 600 bottles per minute on one of its lines, equivalent to a maximum capacity of 17 million bottles a week, up from 15 million prior to the expansion and upgrade. Longhorn supplies about 90% of Anheuser-Busch Houston“s requirements for the standard 12 oz. bottle, including those for Budweiser and Bud Light, as well as about 65% of the brewery“s total glass requirements.
