Breaking Through the Turbulence
When many glass making factories were shutting their doors because of the energy crisis, Gallo glass was picking up steam. With the addition of two new furnaces, they we're able to manufacture more bottles with five operating furnaces.
1980's
Thinking Smarter, Not Harder
With the rising environmental concerns over glass manufacturing, Gallo made its process more efficient and less wasteful. They invested in triple gob coolers and designed smaller bottles. They also switched from mechanical to computerized timing control.

Taking Oxy-Fuel Firing Full Steam
Many companies were researching effective methods for reducing NOx emissions, but Gallo Glass was a pioneer at making it possible on a larger scale by building their first cryogenic oxygen facility armed with electrostatic precipitator emission control equipment.

A Clear Path for a New Era
The installation of modern equipment and processes gave a boost to the firing and manufacturing speed. With that Gallo was able to increase the overall quality, ISO and automation for bulk production while decreasing bottle weight.

Seeing a Sustainable Future
Throughout the decades, glass making has revolutionized for the sake of the environment and Gallo Glass is proud of what they've contributed. They continue their commitment to sustainability by maintaining state-of-the-art furnaces, modern manufacturing processes and control practices.
