Engineering

A float plant, which operates non-stop for a 'campaign' of between 11 and 15 years, makes around 6,000 kilometres of glass a year in thicknesses of 0.4mm to 25mm and in widths up to 3.6 metres.

The Group’s Engineering function provides the capability to build glass manufacturing and processing facilities for NSG Group businesses and alliances all over the world.

Group Engineering provides a complete project engineering service from the initial feasibility study to the hand-over of the fully functioning plant and helps to plan long term capital investments.

Principal activities include:

  • design and build of float plants and on-line and off-line coating facilities
  • build of integrated automotive glass processing plants
  • repair, rebuild and upgrade of plants
