Factory manager Heikki Väänänen according to the Iittala glass factory has complied with always given the authorisation regulations. In the factory figuring out now the activities of the reform.
under consideration is the new technology and future investments. Investment settled, in what direction the glass factories developed.
Oven-investment preparation. To be solved is, whether the mass produced, for example, electric or possibly hybrid teknik below. Research is also oxygen-adding burning, tell a glass factory manager.
Today, glass furnace heating by natural gas, it has been in use since the 1980s. Natural gas revenue decreased previously used oil compared to particulate emissions and natural gas was also at that time, more affordable than oil.
the hybrid technology could bring to the glass mass in the heating energy source electricity natural gas burner support. A cleaner combustion as a result of airborne particle emissions would decrease from the current.
Glass manufacturing is a process industry. The same machines and technology made products for ten years. Investments in machinery are large and last for a long time. Now the production is planned already in the 2020s until the end.
It is a sign that the I-brand of Fiskar intends to hold on to. Factory manager Heikki Väänänen compare their field of cyclical forest and metal industries. Investments are made for at least ten years.
we’re aiming for the Iittala is already in the 2020s until the end, says Väänänen.
Iittala factory differs from that of the major European glass factories
Iittala glass factory has two large glass furnace and a dozen smaller ones. This allows for a diversity of production as kirk than colored too on the glass. Factory made inflatable glass and mechanical machines to produce pressed glass.
many of the stoves in operation, however the challenges, if they are subject to large european environmental requirements. Southern Finland AVI’s at the end of October issued a new environmental permit in this is understood and taken into account.
AVI:no issued by the new environmental permit is practically identical to the factory earlier. In content it is a little milder than the current EU regulations could require.
AVI will justify the issue of an environmental permit in such a way that the Iittala glass factory is materially different from the other european glass factories in the sense that it is smaller in size and there are many different types of glass kilns.
the glass factory received a new environmental permit is currently see. Permission for the preparatory phase of four of the private men became very critical feedback. I promise received from the authoritative statement you are a glass factory in action understanding.
the Glass-makers Iittala is about 200. Fiskars focused on the manufacture of glass in 2014, iittala at. Earlier Häme had two prominent glass factories in Iittala and Nuutajärvi.
