Building Products

Pilkington Building Products has manufacturing operations in 23 countries. Its largest operation is in Europe, but it also has major interests in Japan, North and South America and South East Asia. This business encompasses the NSG Group’s activity in manufacturing float glass and other processed building glass products.

The Group employs large-scale coating, laminating and silvering processes to make these products.

• Float and Rolled glass manufacturing;
• Semi-finished products: coated, laminated, silvered;
• Fire protection glazing;
• Processing: toughened, insulating glazing units, merchanting;
• Architectural glazing systems: e.g. Pilkington Planar™;
