- Vetropack Holding AG manufactures glass packaging for the food and beverage industry, producing lightweight bottles including its innovative Rezon thermally tempered lightweight glass bottles that are up to 30% lighter than standard bottles; wide-neck jars for preserves, jams, honey, meat, fish, sauces, dairy products, and baby food; and bottles for beer, cider, wine, spirits, soft drinks, vinegar, and oil, alongside services such as packaging design, analysis, bottling support, closure technology, decorative refinement, labeling, and holistic Service plus+ consulting to optimize customer value chains. The company operates eight production plants with 16 melting furnaces and a capacity exceeding 4,000 tons per day, plus sales and distribution offices, across Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovakia, Ukraine, Italy, the Republic of Moldova, and Romania, serving approximately 1,700 B2B customers primarily in Europe within a 400 km radius of its facilities and utilizing 57% recycled glass content. Founded in 1911 with roots in Verrerie S.A. St-Prex and headquartered in Bülach, Switzerland, Vetropack Holding AG employs 3,585 people and reported net sales of CHF 842.1 million in 2024. Recent developments include the closure of its St-Prex, Switzerland production site in 2024 due to long-term economic unviability, with production relocated smoothly to facilities in Austria and Italy to maintain supply to Swiss customers; commissioning of a new energy-efficient colored glass furnace and glass-blowing machines at Kyjov, Czech Republic in January 2024 and Hum na Sutli, Croatia in late 2024; launch of a new standard thermally tempered reusable bottle for Gösser (Brau Union Österreich) in March 2024, which won the WorldStar Award, Austrian State Prize for Smart Packaging, and Swiss Packaging Award; installation of photovoltaic systems at Kremsmünster, Austria and Croatian sites; validation of Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) CO2 reduction goals in August 2024; initiation of a digital recycling pilot project in Croatia with the European Container Glass Federation (FEVE); and plans for industrial-scale production of thermally tempered lightweight glass bottles at its Pöchlarn, Austria Innovation Centre. In October 2025, the company issued an ad-hoc announcement reducing its fiscal 2025 profit forecast to a single-digit million CHF range amid persistent weak European demand, following 2024 consolidated profit of CHF 13.7 million. These operational shifts and innovations underscore Vetropack's Strategy 2030+ focus on customer-centricity, sustainability, and efficiency amid market challenges.
