Beta Glass has expanded the Agbara manufacturing factory in Ogun state, Nigeria, to increase glass container output and better service the West and Central African markets.


According to Beta Glass’s COO, Jagdish Agarwal, the GF1 Furnace at the Agbara factory will undergo a cold repair and upgrade that will boost output by 30 tonnes and prolong its lifespan by 8–10 years for only 30% of the price of a complete rebuild.

He points out that this accomplishment demonstrates Beta Glass’s capacity to expand profitably and sustainably while also carrying out cost-cutting measures to better serve clients in West and Central Africa.



With a daily capacity of 720 tonnes and an annual production of 650+ million bottles and jars, in addition to the ability to create 5.5 million crates and 3.2 billion crowns, Beta Glass presently runs three best-in-class manufacturing facilities in Nigeria.

Over 1,500 workers are employed by the company across its locations, and it is run by a vibrant and experienced Management Team, which was recently reorganised on the Board of Directors.


The newly appointed Chairman, Vitus Ezinwa, stated on his first formal visit to the Beta Glass Agbara Plant: ” This significant milestone celebrates our Company’s unwavering commitment to expanding production capacity and capabilities while maintaining the highest product quality.”

“We are not just suppliers; we are partners in progress, dedicated to setting new standards in the glass container manufacturing industry,” Darren Bennett-Voci, CEO of Beta Glass, his this to say in regards to the company’s sustainability initiatives.

Expanding its output will allow the company to best service the markets in West and Central Africa. In the glass container production sector in West and Central Africa during the last fifty years, Beta Glass Plc has become a major participant and industry leader.

Some of its major achievements over the past 50 years since its formation as Delta Glass Company LLC in 1974 as available to the local brand news, include starting production in 1979, going public in 1986, and joining forces with Guinea Glass Company to establish Beta Glass PLC in 2000. The business expanded its Guinea plant in 2002 by adding a second furnace. In 2021, a furnace extension project increased daily output from 200 to 300 tonnes. Most recently, the Agbara plant’s GF1 Furnace underwent a quick upgrade.

With the ability to create 3.2 billion crowns and 5.5 million crates annually, in addition to an annual capacity of 720 tonnes per day, Beta Glass currently runs three manufacturing units in Nigeria.

However, with more than 1,500 employees spread across several locations, the company is run by a dynamic and experienced management team under the direction of a recently reorganised board of directors.

In West and Central Africa, Beta Glass has reaffirmed its commitment to delivering outstanding customer experiences. To this end, the corporation has increased the scope of its campaigns to promote a greener Nigeria, concentrating on sustainability, recycling, and public education on environmental responsibility.

In order to create glass aggregator facilities in key Lagos sites, this involves working with the Food and Beverage Recycling Alliance (FBRA) and the Recycling Scheme for Women and Youth Empowerment (RESWAYE).

Also, this dedication is demonstrated by the recently announced collaboration between Beta Glass and Wecyclers, a reputable waste management business in Nigeria, for the introduction of trucks to gather cullet, or recycled broken or waste glass, for recycling and reuse in the glass manufacturing process. This will preserve priceless and limited raw materials and further reduce the environmental impact of the business.
