This article contains a contribution to the history of the hollow glass production factories that emerged in Spain throughout the 20th century and, specifically, illustrates a unique initiative during the 1960s, that of the Vidriera del Norte (VINSA). Rooted in a previous experience set up in Mexico, the factory began its journey at the Burgos Industrial Pole as a business adventure and soon became a pioneering initiative in the new market for glass container manufacturing at the national. The difficulties in starting production, its expansion, consolidation and subsequent absorption by the French group Saint Gobain constitute a significant example of the industrial history of bottle manufacturing in the years of Spanish developmentalism.
