Beta Glass is a leading manufacturer of glass bottles for the beverage industry as well as others. The company announced in early October that its $30m investment to expand the furnace capacity at its plant in Agbara, Ogun State was on track to be completed in June 2020.
The new furnace when completed will pioneer use of the Narrow Neck Press and Blow (NNPB) Technology in West Africa, enabling Beta Glass to bring lighter weight, non-returnable glass bottles to market in Nigeria for the first time.
