EcoSecur – a revolutionary inner-surface treatment of Type 2 glass

At the CPHI event, Stoelzle will also showcase EcoSecur, an innovative approach to inner-surface treatment of Type 2 injection and infusion vials used in both human and veterinary medicine. This groundbreaking technique employs a liquid treatment process that allows for reliable and precise dosing tailored to the size of each bottle, from 6ml vials to 500ml. The manufacturing process for type 2 glass surpasses existing technologies in terms of quality, process stability, and reliability, ensuring exceptional performance. Through the innovative EcoSecur process, Stoelzle has successfully reduced the use of chemical components by up to 50% while decreasing CO₂ emissions by up to 80%. This significant reduction translates into a minimized environmental footprint.

Highland Park 54 Year Old

The Highland Park 54 Year Old is a 54 year old single malt Scotch Whisky and an especially rare release that was available from specialist outlets globally from mid-February 2023. Only 225 bottles have been created, by Highland Park Master Whisky Maker, Gordon Motion. The Highland Park 54 Year Old consists of a bespoke embossed bottle containing the 54 year old whisky, a beautiful presentation box crafted from the finest Scottish oak wood, and an invitation for the buyer to attend a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Orkney. As a manufacturer, Stoelzle Flaconnage were privileged that this exciting project came to them. The bottles were carefully crafted by their skilled glassmakers with new moulds needed for this special container. The glass was then sent to France for polishing and then back to the UK for hand graving with fine silver paint.
