Introduction

The Flat Glass business of the NSG Group, operating under the Pilkington brand, is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of glass and glazing products for the building and automotive markets. The Group has manufacturing operations in 29 countries on four continents and sales in 130.

Built on a reputation for leading technological advances in the glass industry, including the invention of the Float Process, the Pilkington brand is synonymous with Flat Glass manufacturing excellence and innovation.

With the integration of Pilkington into the NSG Group’s Flat Glass business, all of the Group’s architectural and automotive products are now marketed worldwide under the Pilkington brand.

We intend to continue to lead the glass industry, investing in sustaining our technology and using it to create value for our shareholders, supplying quality products in all major markets at competitive prices.
