CORE SECTOR INFORMATION

Product, Process and Market
Connected as One Plant.

Special and technical glass projects are defined by the end-use requirement rather than by one standard production route. They may include borosilicate, electrical and insulator glass, optical or lighting products, appliance components and other application-specific compositions. GLINDCO develops the project around product performance, process risk and specialist equipment interfaces.

The plant concept must balance product specification, production volume, flexibility, energy, raw materials, quality systems, operating capability and the route to market. GLINDCO translates those connected requirements into a clear design basis and executable project plan.
