The Kioo glass container factory in Dar es Salaam, has commissioned P-D Refractories to supply materials for its K2 furnace rebuild later this year. This follows the glassmaker’s K1 furnace project, which was successfully commissioned in 2018. Both furnaces are SORG designs. Refractory products will be sourced from P-D Refractories sites in Germany and the Czech Republic.

Supplying a diverse range of glass packaging in different colours to such customers as AB InBev, Coca-Cola and Heineken, Kioo Ltd makes a significant contribution to the sustainable economic and ecological development of Tanzania.
