Men,
the living richness of the VOA

In the middle of Southern Europe's great vineyards, generations of glassworkers have continued to improve their craft over 6 centuries.

The inheritance of know how is now one of the VOA Albi Glasswork's main resources.

Research, development, listening to the customer... are part of the business culture.
And for more customer satisfaction, the Albi Glass workers work with passion: their sense of responsability across light structures permit them to react quickly and efficiently for all markets including your own.

Flexibility and quality of production



At the VOA Albi Glassworks, a million bottles are made every day on 6 production lines, completely automated thanks to the last generation's computerisation.

To better meet our clients'needs, Albi Glassworks has two machines which can work together to fabricate large containers.
With a perfect mastery of their craft, the workers can change their fabrication extremely quickly to standard products or personalised models.

At the VOA Albi Glassworks, we are constantly seeking quality. The business values showed by all our teams has enables us to obtain certification in 1995, according to the ISO 9001 manufacturing standarts.

Solid gestures for the environment



Protecting the environment is one of our greatest preoccupations in the world at the end of this century. In response to this conscientiousness, the Albi Glass workers are taking action.

Associated with the Global voluntary engagement for the environment, supported by the Glass makers along with public figureheads, the VOA Albi Glass workers participate in this project in the following ways:

  • Dealing with industrial waste;
  • Use, economy and conservation of water;
  • Diminution of atmospheric pollution;
  • Economising primary materials through lighter bottles;
  • Exploitation of glass deposits for recycling: today 50% of the primary materials are made from recycled glass.

Thanks to public awareness campains throughout the region, the target of 75% recycled glass should be reached by the year 2002.

In the environmental protection domain, the VOA Albi Glassworks battles us much as for the quality of our products, with a goal to receive certification for the ISO 14000 manufacturing standards.
