Millville, N.J.-based Amcor says its glass tubing business, a producer of pharmaceutical glass packaging and glass products for industrial applications, has entered into a long-term agreement with Fremont, Calif.-based solar energy company Solyndra to supply tubular glass for its proprietary solar energy panels.
The companies will transact over $200 million of business throughout the life of the contract.
