In search of ideas and opportunities


The enterprise was created more than 40 years ago to provide glass containers of canneries in Uzbekistan and the Central Asian region. Now JSC "Quartz" produces glass jars, bottles, polished sheet glass, colored, tempered construction and safety glasses for the automotive industry. On the territory of the plant there are 14 shops. Due to modernization, production volumes increased. The design capacity of the glass jar production workshop is 269 million pieces, and the glass bottle is 110 million pieces per year. More than 16 kinds of glass jars and 160 kinds of glass bottles of colorless, green, blue, brown colors are produced.

Obsolete mechanical control devices for electronic ones were replaced, lightweight glass containers were developed and introduced into production. Technical re-equipment of production with the installation of automated machines has ensured a high quality of cleaning molds. There is also a milling machining center for the production of molds and high precision parts for glass-forming machines, a universal grinding machine for high-quality sharpening of complex configuration tools. In addition, equipped with an automatic packaging machine, which increased the conditions for transportation and preservation of the presentation of products. Due to this, the volume of production also increased.

Thanks to the reconstruction of the polished glass sheet production department with the participation of the Italian company Tekint, the production volumes and quality have increased. The line's capacity is 10 million square meters of glass per year with a thickness of two to eight millimeters. It is used for glazing of frames, stained-glass windows, furniture, production of hardened building glass and safe glazing of surface transport.

JSC "Quartz" also mastered the production of bronze glass, painted in mass, which was previously imported. And this year they purchased and installed a new digital equipment for drawing drawings with ceramic paints on glass. The main task of the plant was the achievement and maintenance of high quality products and services. The enterprise was awarded the certificate of conformity of the quality management system ISO 9001: 2015. The products are exported to Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan.

At JSC "Quartz" at the expense of the International Development Association, the investment project "Replacement of the old IS-8 glass-forming machine for a glass-forming machine with energy savings of more than 20 percent" is implemented, aimed at increasing the energy efficiency of production. The main goal of modernization is the replacement of morally and physically obsolete equipment by modern and energy efficient.

Modernization of the glass-forming machine allowed to increase productivity and reduce production costs. The maximum optimization of all operating parameters and airflow has been achieved, while energy resources have been saved by more than 69.1 thousand dollars, in particular, electricity - by 45.9% and natural gas - by 38.6%. To implement the project, IDA credit resources in the amount of 1,997,700 euros were attracted.

The project to replace the glass forming machine is one example of the fact that JSC "Quartz" is constantly in search of updating and expanding the assortment, the quality of the products and increasing export opportunities.
