Saint-Gobain and NSG Group Pursue Joint Expansion in Brazil
Cebrace announced today plans to build a new float glass plant
in Bahia State, in northeastern Brazil.The new facility will be the
sixth float line owned by Cebrace Cristal Plano Ltda, a joint
venture between Saint-Gobain Glass and NSG Group in Brazil. The
project will enable Cebrace to serve its customers more effectively
in this fast-growing region.
The plant will be capable of producing 600 tonnes of flat glass
a day to supply the Brazilian construction and automotive markets.
Scheduled to come on stream in first-quarter 2013, the world-class
production facility will further consolidate Cebrace's geographic
coverage of the Brazilian market, where it already has four float
lines in the Southeast (including one under construction) and one
in the South.
The new plant will enable Cebrace to keep pace with growth in
the Brazilian flat glass market and to strengthen its local
leadership position.
