Consol Glass halts new manufacturing plant
- 4 years ago
Consol Glass has suspended construction of a R1.5 billion plant in Ekurhuleni, Gauteng. That is because of reduced demand for glass products, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and government’s suspension of alcohol sales. The plant would have added 130,000 tons of glass production to Consol’s capacity, and would have repatriated imports of glass for Coca-Cola, Heineken and AB InBev. Mike Arnold is the CEO of Consol Glass.
