The majority of the glass in the aftermarket is produced by the major OEM suppliers, but a significant share is also from copy- makers. It is essential that all replaced glass is made according to the OEM technical specifications.

Advanced glass shaping techniques offer vehicle manufacturers greater freedom to achieve their styling concepts. Automotive designers and engineers demand continuous advances in vehicle glazing systems to meet requirements for improved visibility and safety and better aerodynamics.

Recent developments include amplifiers and electronics on the glass. These are able to boost the radio signals and remove requirements for off-glass electronic housings. They are used to interface with digital and optical communication links in the vehicle, at low cost.

High quality glass production starts with the float process, developed by Pilkington and now the industry standard. Automotive glass production includes pre-processing, toughening, laminating, encapsulation, extrusion and assembly, adding functionality.

Pilkington Anti-condensation Glass er et glimrende valg af glas til at minimere forekomsten af udvendig kondens ved tåge og frost. En hård pyrolytisk coating på den ydre overflade af glasset forårsager at glassets temperatur stiger, for at minimere dug og forsinke denne.

Vinduer med lave U-værdier kan på kølige nætter give kondens på ydersiden af ruden så gennemsynet forringes. Nu introduceres løsningen: Pilkington Anti-condensation Glass som samtidig beholder sin lave U-værdi, som desuden også et jernfattigt glas, som giver en meget høj lystransmission.

This combined regional presence makes Pilkington Automotive the largest player globally in AGR distribution and wholesale. In addition to glass, the product offering includes accessories needed for fitting, such as trims, urethane and tools and also extensive technical support.

Pilkington AviSafe™ er en innovativ glasløsning, udviklet for i høj grad at reducere antallet af fuglekollisioner. Den unikke UV-mønstrede belægning bryder refleksionen på glasset, så fuglen kan se, at der findes en hindring.
