VICRILA is located on the right side of the Nervion, in a piece of ground gained to the
own river; at two kilometers from the Port of Bilbao; close to the road Bilbao-Las Arenas; and
with direct connection to the Plencia-Bilbao train line. This strategic situation meant direct
access to the main means of transport not only for the delivery of goods but also for the
reception of raw materials.

created as a separated company VITECH.
It is its own engineering company with its
team of professionals with top training,
that let them achieve the challenge of
introducing new processes into new
markets, as well as continue to develop
new products and solutions.
Very Flexible and dynamic, VICRILA
has always been stood out for its capacity
for anticipation and market response;
hence the creation of the brand GREEN
that is synonime of environment and is
associated with all the items under the
brands HOSTELVIA, VINTIA, ELYTIUM
and B2B.
The GREEN brand symbolizes VICRILA’s
commitment with the environment.
Recycling in our facilities allows to reduce
the energy consumption, the pollution
of the air and the consumption of raw

MAKING
Decoration technique by erosion of the glass that offers great results with
little investment.
Commonly used to mark gauge lines or nucleation points, the tendency it is
evolving to decorate foots and walls by laser.
NUCLEATION
Bubbles are created when we serve beverages like cava, champaign,
beer or coke. This phenomenon is produced by a great quantity of
gas that is dissolved in the liquid. We can achieve the same effect
thanks to the nucleation process in any kind of tumbler or stem.
The nucleation allows us to create a constant flux of bubbles which enhance
the taste of our drink.

06 Manufacturing Processes
DIFFERENT
WAYS TO
ACHIEVE THE
BEST PRODUCT
“
M
ain differences between
crystal and glass: according
to the CEE 69/493 standard,
the definition of “glass” is for those items
that meet the following characteristics in its
composition:
a.- Articles that contain as minimum 24 %
of metallic
oxides
Different
processes to
develop new
products
b.- Articles whose density exceeds 2.90
c.- Articles whose refractive index is >
1.545
The articles that do not fulfill these criteria
cannot be called crystal; they might be
named crystalline, resonant glass, etc.
Crystal properties: sparkle, brightness
and transparency, sonority and musicality,
finesse, etc.
Glass
manufacturing processes
By type of mould: pressing, blowing
and centrifuged; being able to be the
process: pressed or centrifugated.
By thermal treatment: tempered or
tensed and annealed
”
6.1
Tempered
heat treatment
I
t is a heat treatment based on a fast cooling of the articles
that have been warmed up to 650ºC. The articles keep
with controlled tensions and that increases the thermal and
mechanical resistance of them.
The tempered heat treatment is composed of two processes
a. Warming. :
a.1.- Direct temper process: articles are warmed from 450ºC
to 650ºC
a.2.- Indirect temper process: articles are warmed from 20ºC
to 650ºC
b.- Fast cooling of the surface. It causes compression tensions of
600-800 kg/mm2 in the glass surface.
The compression in the surface is what increases the resistance
of the tempered articles to the thermal and mechanical shocks.
6.2
The annealing
heat treatment
G
lass is fragile, and the four properties that describe the
behavior of the glass to variations of temperature and
mechanical shocks are:
a.- The expansion: as the other materials, the dimensions of the
glass articles increase when they are heated and decrease when
they are cooled.
b.- The viscosity: the glass in the oven at 1500ºC is liquid but is
much more viscous than water. Its viscosity increases very rapidly
when temperature decreases.
c.- The thermal conductivity: the glass is a bad thermal conductor,
and as a result of that, the surface and the inner part of a glass
article never cool or warm up to the same temperature.
d.- The mechanical resistance: the resistance to the compression
is good, 20 times superior to the traction.
VICRILA annealing heat treatment:
To sum up, the glass cannot cool naturally without
breaking or being extremely fragile and therefore,
VICRILA´s annealing heat treatment solve this
weakness.
1. It eliminates the tensions created by the anarchic cooling of
the items, the differences of temperature between the thick and
thin parts, inside and outside ones.
2. It cools to the same speed the surface and the inner part of
the article, either the thick and thin parts.
3. It cools quickly until the atmosphere temperature so as to
allow a shortening of length of the annealing furnace.
07 HACCP
Main objectives :
HACCP:
FOOD
SAFETY
HACCP
CERTIFICATION
H
ACCP is a systematic preventive to
food safety from biological, chemical,
and physical hazards in production
processes that can cause the finished product
to be unsafe. In this manner, HACCP is
referred as the prevention of hazards rather
than finished product inspection. The HACCP
system can be used at all stages of food
chain, from food production and preparation
processes including packaging, distribution,
etc.
a.- Ensure food safety
b.- Act according to the law
c.- Increase in exports thanks to the confidence in
the process
d.- Easier processes and quality controls
Benefits :
a.- This system have been developed for an International
Authority, Codex Alimentarius Comission.
b.- More dynamic and efficient controls for the food safety
c.- System based in prevention
d.- Increase confidence in food safety an its manufacturing
companies, authorities and customers.
VICRILA OFFERS
e.- Act according to the law
VICRILA is one of the companies that act
according to this law. Authorities and customers
have proved our capacity to develop proyects
with HACCP products. Our tumblers and stems
are perfectly safe and can be used in the
alimentary industry.
08 Strengths

Completely tempered
articles. Contrary to certain
other articles which only
have been tempered around
the rim or on the outside,
Vicrila’s articles have been
tempered on the inside and
on the outside.
The articles are resistant to
mechanical shocks and that
extends the life of the product
by five times comparing to
non tempered articles.
The annealing process
eliminates
the
tensions
created by the anarchic
cooling of the items, the
differences of temperature
between the thick and thin
parts, inside and outside
ones.
VICRILA, has adopted the
latest technology of cut glass
that allows a pure and clean
cut without edges at the
mouth of the article. This cut
is obtained by a process of
thermal shock called “crackoff” that allows a controlled
circular fracture of the upper
part of the article, giving
the mouth the required fine
appearance
