Consol Glass, the largest glass manufacturer in Africa, has announced further upgrade and capacity expansion plans valued at R86 million at its Bellville factory in the western Cape.rnConsols latest expansion announcement is set against a backdrop of an already high level of activity in the commissioning of new, and replacement of existing furnaces and machines - all of which are assisting Consol to meet the diverse and complex demands of the glass industry.rnGlass is becoming increasingly popular in the packaging stakes and the demand for glass is escalating annually by between four and five percent. Its attractiveness as a packaging medium continues to climb, and Consol has invested heavily in capacity through the development of a bigger infrastructure and manufacturing footprint. The Consol Bellville expansion is directly linked to the increased demand for product in the southern and Cape regions.
