The 10 Most Admired Companies in Glass Industry.

From the EDITOR
reaches the people in tiny glasses of hope and the
industry is the Glass Industry.
Vials, as they are known as, manufactured by the Glass
industry are used to store medications and also
scientific samples. Vials can be of many types; the most
common ones being used are the tests tube-like but
flat-based sample vials and the vials that store the
medicine or medical vials. As per reports, every year,
around 50 billion glass containers are used for medical
purposes of which around 20 billion are medical vials.
As the need to test and test again to contain the
pandemic increases so does the requirement of sample
vials. And once the vaccines are in place, the industry
will be facing an uphill task to supply the vials for the
same. What is more important that these vials are not
just made out of regular and less expensive soda-lime
glass, but need borosilicate glass for manufacturing.
Borosilicate glass is chemically stable, corrosionresistant,
withstand high as well as low temperature,
and also safer when it comes to being handled during
transportation. However, right now, it makes up only
10% of the total glass production in the world. So
herein lies the first challenge for the industry, which is
to increase production to meet the demand.
The pandemic has provided the industry with a huge
opportunity which the companies would like to encash
not just for financial benefits, but for the fact that their
work will be saving millions of lives. In this issue of
