Securing sand sourcing : Launch of a glass sand treatment

SOTUVER maintains its unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction by constantly seeking to improve the quality of its products and innovate in its supply processes. To achieve these ambitious objectives, we have created a new subsidiary, “Sables Verriers de Tunisie,” whose mission is to provide SOTUVER with a quality of sand meeting the strictest specifications of the international market.

This initiative includes the exploitation of a mining permit covering an area of 100 hectares dedicated to glass sand, as well as the establishment of a treatment plant by washing and attrition of glass sand. This factory has an impressive capacity of 54 tonnes per hour, allowing SOTUVER to produce high quality sand, particularly for the manufacture of extra white glass.
