Energy-efficiency The increasing international pressure for greater sustainability has resulted in a surge in the demand for Omco’s glass products, which are 100 per cent recyclable. This has enabled the company to increase capacity at three of its main European facilities. A joint venture with Hindustan National Glass of India added significantly to the company’s global manufacturing capability.
