- Société Tunisienne de Verreries SA (SOTUVER) is a Tunisia-based industrial company specializing in the design, manufacture, and commercialization of hollow glass packaging solutions primarily for the food and beverage sectors. The company's product portfolio includes standard and customized glass bottles, jars, and flacons produced in various shades such as extra-white flint, flint, mid-flint, emerald green, and antique green; specialized glass packaging for olive oils and vinegars; beverage containers for wines, spirits, beers, mineral waters, carbonated soft drinks, fruit juices, and syrups; wide-mouth glass jars for food preserves, condiments, sauces, and baby food; custom container design and engineering services; Applied Ceramic Labeling (ACL) and high-precision decorative silk-screen printing; and upstream raw material sourcing and silica sand processing through its mining subsidiary, Sables Verriers de Tunisie. SOTUVER serves an international client base of domestic and multinational beverage producers, food processors, and agricultural enterprises, exporting products to more than 30 countries across North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Southern Europe, and the Middle East. In recent corporate developments, Portuguese glass container manufacturer BA Glass acquired a 41.28% strategic equity stake in SOTUVER in partnership with the Bayahi Group, triggering a mandatory tender offer to establish joint governance and expand the company's export footprint across the Mediterranean basin. Additionally, the company substantially increased its capital integration of its manufacturing subsidiary SOTUVER Glass Industries (SGI) toward full ownership to consolidate production capacity from its advanced Djebel Oust furnace facilities and executed multi-million-dinar capital expenditure programs focused on furnace rebuilds, technological modernization, and energy efficiency initiatives. Founded in 1963 and listed on the Tunis Stock Exchange, Société Tunisienne de Verreries SA is headquartered in Djebel Oust, Tunisia.
