Arc Group is one of the biggest global names providing these products through its brands Arcoroc Cristal d’Arques Paris and Chef&Sommelier These brands supply the global foodservice and retail industries The company has production sites in the US but its biggest site and headquarters are located in the French commune Arques where Arc first established itself as an industrial powerhouse in 1825 Packaging Gateway looks at how such a mammoth company is balancing its legacy alongside meeting the demand for modern innovations in glass tableware manufacturing Out of Arc’s 7,000 employees around the world 5,000 work in the Arques manufacturing facility which is built around the existing village and contains an on-site hospital and canteen Don’t let policy changes catch you off guard Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis The site is also conveniently located next to a canal along which barges journey from Belgium carrying sand used to produce up to two million items of glassware a day The focus is on obtaining the purest material and sand possible as additives such as soda-lime increase costs At the core of the site are six working furnaces Arc CEO Nicholas Hodler explained that: “One of Arc’s big projects right now is electrifying our transparent glass furnaces Nothing that exists today is economically viable but we are convinced we’ve found a solution “We plan to convert one of our gas fired furnaces to electricity by 2026 This is helped by us being based in France because so much electricity in France is nuclear and therefore carbon-free.” Any broken or damaged glass items that emerge from the furnaces are reintroduced into production as Hodler asserts that it is “cheaper and easier to make recycled glass than new glass.” Arc representatives explained that there is a push to reduce the scale of movement across the site’s operation by moving the furnaces closer together The nature of a glass furnace means that even if there is a lower demand for glass products it can never be switched off but only put to simmer Such financial barriers are a factor behind the lack of new players in the glass manufacturing industry alongside the necessary energy requirements An Arc representative confirmed that energy prices are far higher in Europe compared to the company’s competitors based in Asia and the Middle East The company prides itself on the strength of its tempered glass products packaging glass items still carries a high risk of breakage depending on the type of material used the glass plates are stacked on top of one another in sets of five before being covered in plastic shrink wrap and placed into cardboard boxes the progress behind the sustainable aspects of a product can be undone by accompanying packaging but this is hampered by a lack of recycling infrastructure in key markets such as the UK Arc also receives requests from major clients such as IKEA to have sustainable and cost-effective manufacturing processes for both product and packaging the company is also under pressure from the French government and European Union to reduce its carbon emissions Arc’s goal is a reduction of 50% by 2030 and 80% by 2050 through furnace electrification A representative confirmed that 80% of the company’s emissions are derived from gas within the melting process inside the furnaces Dismantling a furnace before the completion of this timeline would be costly for Arc hence the focus on 2030 as a realistic goal moving from gas to electricity isn’t a fix-all as the raw materials must be adapted to this change too The new materials must contain no carbon for Arc to be able to continue producing quality glass products The end result is Arc’s ‘eco-design’ glass tableware products requiring less energy to melt in manufacturing while maintaining the same level of resistance As for the ever-present question of greenwashing Arc spokespeople affirmed that employees are informed of the latest company statistics on its sustainable goals and that “We would prefer not to say anything if we cannot back it up.” “There’s definitely been a shift in the last 12 to 18 months towards sustainability being a prerequisite before you can even discuss pricing or methodology with customers In the wider glass manufacturing industry the move from gas has been assisted by the Ukraine war and subsequent energy crisis giving many companies no choice but to consider alternative energy Arc is working with The French Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME) and is currently calculating pricing estimates for its sustainable developments The success of these goals will see a historic company join forces with the modern innovations that the glass industry needs Give your business an edge with our

See our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy Domaine de Baronarques in the Limoux region of the Languedoc is owned by the Mouton branch of the Rothschild family An uncharacteristic purchase given their penchant for Cabernet Sauvignon, the 110-hectare estate, previously known as Domaine de Lambert, was acquired by Baroness Philippine de Rothschild and her children in 1998 and renamed Baron’Arques (Baronarques from 2015). It was, in effect, an impulse buy, the Baroness enchanted by this out-of-the-way area of the Aude valley in the shadow of the Pyrenees. But there was also a serious goal, to make a great red wine in the Languedoc. Twenty-odd years on and after much replanting and investment, the Rothschilds are nearing their objective. Since the first vintage in 2003, Domaine de Baronarques has gained in depth and precision and more recently in quality of tannin – the 2018 I tasted at the estate was the most complete vintage yet.

A court in Carcassonne handed out suspended jail terms and fines on Wednesday to 12 members of the Languedoc wine industry for selling millions of bottles of Pinot Noir to Gallo for its Red Bicyclette label that were illegally cut with cheaper Merlot and Syrah. The defendants, including figures from various vineyards, cooperatives, a broker, the wine merchant Ducasse and the large cooperative Sieur d'Arques, were convicted of selling the equivalent of 18 million bottles of falsely labeled wine. The court gave them suspended jail sentences of between one and six months and fines from 3,000 to 180,000 euros. The judge said that, "the scale of the fraud caused severe prejudice to the wines of Languedoc in the United States." The saga dates back to 2006 as demand for Pinot Noir was surging. Gallo had been working with a Limoux-based co-op, Sieur d’Arques, on various wines for Red Bicyclette, and asked for a Pinot. The co-op did not have enough of the grape variety, so it contacted Ducasse, a merchant house in Carcassonne, to help buy from other growers and producers. In 2008, during an audit by the French fraud agency, officials found several inconsistencies. Ducasse had sold 53,889 hectoliters of Pinot Noir when the entire region only produces around 53,000 hectoliters a year. In addition, the wine had been sold for 58 euros per hectoliter, much less than the typical bulk-wine market price of 97 euros per hectoliter for Vin de Pays d’Oc Pinot Noir. In January, all the suspects except two executives from Sieur d'Arques pled guilty. Prosecutors told the court that the scam produced 7 million euros in profit. A Gallo vice president, Susan Hensley, released a statement saying, "We are deeply disappointed to learn today that our supplier Sieur d'Arques has been found guilty of selling falsely labeled French Pinot Noir as recently as March of 2008. Based on the available information of the Pinot Noir that the French courts have investigated, Gallo imported less than 20 percent of the total and is no longer selling any of this wine to customers." There has been no evidence that Gallo knew of any fraud. One industry executive familiar with Gallo's projects with foreign partners did note that the Modesto company requires strict production costs when working with partner wineries. Gallo has found new suppliers when those cost projections aren't met. Back in France, the wine industry fears that the swindle could undermine the credibility of fellow French winegrowers.
