Engineered for high output, consistent quality and long-term reliability in demanding glass manufacturing environments – Made in Germany.
GP-Series – Production Lines
Powered by industry-leading ESERVO technology next generation E-Press
WALTEC is a leading manufacturer of fully automated, electronically controlled glass forming lines – from feeder to annealing lehr – as well as complete turnkey projects. Surface quality is a defining characteristic of glassware. After forming, fire polishing refines the glass surface and treats mould parting lines through controlled flame exposure.
Improving hot-end forming operations is our key challenge. We achieve this through sustainable technologies, reliable production lines, and innovative components.
All our production lines comply with tomorrow's economic and environmental requirements for sustainable glass manufacturing.
