Coo l g la s s – and
DEAR READER ,
If you asked us what Vetropack means, we could make its easy for ourselves and coolly offer you a single phrase –
"tailor-made glass". But we'd rather make it easy for you. So, in order to demonstrate that behind our clear-as-glass
slogan there is a company that is both productive and innovative, both international and close to its customers, we
want to show you Vetropack from every angle – from our fascination with glass in general right through to our cor-
porate philosophy in particular. We hope that you too will warm to Vetropack and our ideals!

ATTRACT IVENESS AND ADDED VALUE
Glass: even when you look at it coolly and rationally, it shines. It is a natural
product, made from virtually inexhaustible raw materials. It can be recycled
practically forever – a process which, incidentally, is particularly energy-effi-
cient. And it is perfect for packaging – protecting and preserving its contents,
stable and airtight, impervious to the most adverse climatic conditions and the
most corrosive chemicals.
Glass: surely no-one can remain cold to its charms. With its understated refi-
nement, it appeals to the senses and displays its contents to their best advan-
tage while keeping them pure and natural. Perfectly stable and yet infinitely
malleable, it is the ideal material for implementing creative design ideas,
giving each product a unique identity.
Vetropack and glass: a winning combination. That's how this versatile packa-
ging material with the illustrious history becomes the material of the future, a
material with added value, continuously developed and enhanced, and pro-
duced in state-of-the-art facilities. No ordinary material – tailor-made glass.

Packaging trends come and go,
but glass is here to stay.
With so many positive features and
a thousand-year history of success,
it can also look forward with confidence
to a great future.

PRODUCT IV I TY AND INNOVAT ION
Glass: it packages your products safely. It preserves their quality and whole-
someness. And it becomes, in the right shape, its own ideal marketing and
brand management tool, clearly setting itself apart from the competition and
unambiguously positioning itself with consumers. However, if glass is to have
a significant impact on the market, you really have to be willing to pull out
all the stops.
Vetropack and glass: as the market leader in our five domestic markets, we
know exactly what best brings out the material and commercial qualities of
glass-packaged products. That's why we offer such a wide range of services
– from prototype design, market test series and filling tests right through to
promotion, launch and logistics. Flexibility is another of our strengths: if our
extensive standard range doesn't already contain the perfect solution, we –
together with the customer – will develop a model that fully meets the needs
of the market in terms of form, function and price. And throughout this pro-
cess we never lose sight of our core objective: complete customer satisfaction.
After all, our business is tailor-made glass.
customers will warm to this idea.
How do you combine marketing
requirements and logistics in a functional
and economical way? Not the easiest
of tasks unless, of course, you use
Vetropack glass packaging solutions.
And suddenly, everything comes together:
form, function and price.

STAB I L I TY AND GROWTH
Glass: the demand for glass has risen steadily in recent years, particularly in
Eastern Europe, and has proven largely immune to economic fluctuations.
Thanks to its technological leadership and its ability to deliver what customers
need, Vetropack has been an active participant in this growth process, gene-
rating roughly one quarter of its overall sales by supplying glass packaging
products to multinational food and beverage companies such as Coca-Cola,
Heineken and Nestlé in 16 European countries.
Glass and Vetropack: we know how demanding our key customers are and
fully intend to justify their confidence in years to come, just as we also intend
to maintain our leading position in our domestic markets – through strong
regional ties, through locally-based expertise and through our pro-active
approach to product innovation and product development. Finally, we also
intend to sustain and enhance our already excellent environmental record by
further refining the life cycles of our ecologically sound primary material and
by reducing energy consumption and emissions. After all, only when all these
factors are successfully combined does glass become tailor-made glass.
We s t oke th e fu rnace s
Vetropack's strategy has two objectives –
expansion and consolidation.
Where we see a new opportunity we,
together with our customers, will seize it.
Where we have already built up a
significant position, we will maintain
it for the benefit of our customers.

CONT INU I TY AND PRESENCE
Ever since its foundation almost a century ago Vetropack, an independent
family business which now has a stock market listing, has been growing
steadily. Originally serving only the Swiss market, it has transformed itself
into an international group of companies specializing in comprehensive glass
packaging solutions and employing some 2,800 people at six ISO-9001-cer-
tified production plants in five European countries. Out of the single glass-
works of yesteryear has grown a dynamic high-volume supplier which melts
up to 3,000 tons of glass every day and ships 3 billion units of glass packa-
ging every year. On this road to success Vetropack has not only sought to
meet the needs and requirements of its customers but has also continually
measured its products and services against its own high standards. No matter
where Vetropack manufactures glass, it always follows the same motto "One
brand – one quality” and the same goal – tailor-made glass.
