SGD Pharma marked the start of the New Year by celebrating the renovation of its Saint-Quentin-Lamotte (SQLM) furnace No. 2 with a lighting ceremony performed by appointed Godmother Vanessa Rade, in accordance with glassmaking tradition.
Saint-Quentin-Lamotte, located in France, is a state-of-the-art glass plant which specializes in pharma-grade moulded glass vials. Its newly designed furnace improves glass properties resulting in enhanced quality and performance
Last year the site cut CO2 emissions in line with SGD Pharma’s recent SBTI commitment and long-term reduction roadmap. The upgraded feeders of the renovated furnace, provided with support from ADEME as part of the Decarb Ind framework, will reduce emissions even further.
