Built on an area covering 8,000 square meters, the new plant will operate this summer and will initially be dedicated to the production of Thiover sealants and aluminum spacer bars.

The production capacity will be enough to respond completely to what the large Russian market requires, and will consequently meet the needs of IG processors and producers. Local resources will be integrated, thanks to priorities given by the management, as well as employment for Russian people. Guaranteed product quality will be assured from the first day of production, because the technology and productive processes applied meet the high standards of all the plants of the Fenzi and Alu-Pro groups in Italy and around the world. The same holds true for technical assistance and customer service over the vast Russian territory: The 11-hour time zone will be covered by a tight and efficient network of distribution, already active, thanks to the presence of the Glass Alliance network, which has also been strengthened in anticipation of new production lines, according to the release.
