Verallia, Europe’s leading and the world’s third largest producer of glass packaging, is inaugurating its first hybrid furnace at its Zaragoza site in Spain. This new facility marks a significant milestone in the Group’s decarbonisation strategy and will reduce CO₂ (scope 1 and 2) emissions by around 50%, with potential to reach 60% depending on the energy mix.  In response to the climate emergency, Verallia has been committed for several years to decarbonising its operations. Supported by a clear and robust CSR roadmap – now reinforced by the SBTi’s1 validation of its Net Zero 2040 trajectory – the Group aims to reduce its CO₂ emissions (scopes 1 and 2) by 46.2% by 2030 compared with 2019, and by 90% by 2040.

Up to 60% lower shipping costs. Up to 85% first-attempt delivery success. Up to 8× fewer carbon emissions.  Those are real numbers from our clients who ship year-round without relying on air shipping, and they're experiencing year-over-year growth because of it.  The truth is, consumers don't stop buying wine when temperatures rise or fall. Demand doesn't take a summer or winter break. And the wineries that stay ready to ship are the ones capturing every opportunity.  At Wineshipping, we see it every day: wineries that keep shipping through every season consistently outperform those that don't. The successful ones keep shipping in all seasons to meet customers where they are and their customers love them for it.  Our Premier Ground temperature-controlled fleet is purpose-built to make that possible. Reliably, affordably, and sustainably.  The best part? You can layer this into your current processes -- whether you ship in-house or with an

The wine and spirits industry is standing on the precipice of a major design evolution. For years, “premium” was defined by weight, excess, and tradition. For 2026, a new definition of luxury is emerging; one that values intelligence over mass, and tactile storytelling over simple visual appeal. For brand owners and procurement leaders, staying ahead of these glass packaging trends in 2026 is no longer just about aesthetics; it is a matter of strategic survival. From the rise of “quiet luxury” and right-weighted glass to the complex pressures of global supply chains, the packaging decisions made today will define brand resilience tomorrow. In this forecast, we explore how sustainable luxury, ergonomic innovation, and smart supply chain strategies are reshaping the premium landscape, and how Global Package provides the specialized glass solutions needed to help you navigate this future.

If you’ve been waiting for real-world proof that electric material handling vehicles (MHVs) can outperform internal combustion in busy, space-constrained operations, this is it. Our new white paper, Electrifying Material Handling Vehicles, shows how Golden State Lumber made the switch to an all-electric fleet and increased uptime, safety, and cost control. Below is a short overview of what you’ll learn in the full paper, and we’ll explain why now is the time to get serious about your own electrification roadmap. Why the Shift to Electric Is Accelerating Electrification isn’t just an environmental initiative; it’s an operational upgrade. Modern electric forklifts offer consistent power, instant torque, and whisper-quiet operation. With electric MHVs, communication is clearer, and air quality is high. And with fewer moving parts, they also tend to require less time in the shop, helping reduce the total cost of ownership over the life of the vehicle. Add in
