About us  Specialising in Technical & Operational Assistance for the Glass Container Industry

Our Company

APEGG was founded in 2011 as an independent consultancy company to provide EDUCATION, SUPPORT and SOLUTIONS to the global glass container industry.

Over the last 30 years, technology has advanced rapidly in the glass container industry and at APEGG we recognise that education and the understanding of the glass making process have struggled to keep up. The industry is facing an imbalance of skills due to the fact that experienced generations are leaving the industry, and the younger generations do not necessarily have access to the established knowledge and expertise. It is becoming a common trend that companies want to rely more on technology; however, it is clear that this is not a substitute for education and knowledge.

Statement from the Managing Director

“Before founding APEGG, my first twenty years in the glass industry was spent working with three leading companies: Heinz Glas, PLM (later Rexam Glass, now Ardagh Glass), and Emhart Glass, where I gained substantial glass production experience. Through my work at Emhart Glass as Senior Project Manager, I led several global projects which allowed me to gain a diverse perspective and in-depth understanding of the glass container industry worldwide.

I am sure that you would agree when I say that technology in our industry has advanced rapidly. Saying that, I have noticed that with this advancement, the process education and exchange of glass production knowledge has fallen aside. This I believe can be attributed to both an overreliance on technology and overlooking the fact that experienced generations are leaving our industry.

It is my belief that with a good education using modern ways of teaching, our industry can attract new generations, thus securing the existing knowledge within. This will allow further growth of the glass container industry within the packaging sector. With the assistance of APEGG, we know we can make a positive impact to your business.” – Rajko Machold

APEGG are a company focused on providing education, support and solutions. With our assistance, our customers are able to increase quality and efficiency and ultimately become more profitable. Our vision is to help the glass container industry continue to grow stronger and stronger in the food and beverage packaging sector on a global scale.

There should be no reason why every glass manufacturer in the world cannot produce glass containers of high quality and high efficiency.
