Aujouannet believes that O-I ’ s most important achievement was seeing the company transition to a more market-based company . It was a move which he believes has led to O-I ’ s consistent success in beating market predictions .
“ I believe when we used to traditionally be a manufacturing company but have become a much more market-based company . So , shifting your culture and linking the culture to actions is one of our most critical achievements .”
“ I think on the economic front , you can also see that we are consistently delivering on our expectations - on our promise . And quarter after quarter , I think we are really producing on our market predictions .”
Thinking about the future , Torno expects the challenge will be to keep winning the battle of the customisation and keep making glass more sustainable .
“ We want to make glass more and more sustainable . Working with suppliers who manage it , making it lighter , the quality of the bottles we make . It ’ s so important .”
