Glass packaging production volumes in Europe grew by 1.9% in the first half 2012

According to data published by the European Container Glass Federation (FEVE) Glass packaging production volumes in Europe grew by 1.9% in the first half 2012. The growth is in response to the increasing demand on the domestic and outside EU markets. This builds on the positive trend recorded in 2011. Despite the unstable economic and financial crisis that negatively affects the whole European manufacturing sector, these records shed a positive light on the stability and future prosperity of the European container glass sector (Press Release FEVE, 12 December 2012).
