glass production
Molten silica shaping
Glass production is the manufacturing of glass from raw materials, primarily silica sand melted at high temperatures with additives like soda ash and limestone.
The process includes shaping molten glass through blowing, pressing, floating, or drawing into products ranging from windows and bottles to fiber optics.
The region's glass production dates back centuries.
