The Minister of Productive Development and Plural Economy, Nélida Sifuentes, informed on Saturday that the productive public enterprise of Glass Containers of Bolivia (Envibol), located in the municipality of Zudáñez in the department of Chuquisaca, lit his oven with a view to its early inauguration.
He said that in two weeks the Government is expected to make the official delivery of that factory, which demanded an investment of more than 58 million dollars.

According to Envibol, the furnace must reach a temperature of between 1,500 and 1,600 degrees Celsius of heat in 265 hours of heating, that is to say 11 days to obtain molten glass for the formation of the bottles.
Sifuentes explained that this industry has the capacity to process 120 tons of glass per day to produce 200,000 bottles and said that the industry has a guaranteed market.
