News & Press Releases

This year’s Quality Week brought colleagues across the world together to explore what quality means today, and how each of us can help shape a stronger future.

NSG Group, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of architectural glass, has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with NovaSklo Trade, a project of the Ukrainian investment and industrial holding EFI Group, to supply Pilkington architectural glass products in Ukraine. The agreement was formalized during the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026 in Gdańsk.

The NSG Group has introduced Pilkington Mirai Øne™, a new architectural float glass offering over 35% less embodied carbon compared to its standard float glass, aimed at supporting lower-impact material choices in the built environment. It forms part of Groups wider sustainability commitments, including investments in alternative fuel trials, carbon capture technology to reduce furnace emissions, and recycling initiatives under their makechange™ platform.

In April, we were delighted to host the fourth NSG Group – University of Liverpool Symposium at our European Technical Centre in Lathom, bringing together colleagues from both organisations to share progress and explore future opportunities for collaboration.

NSG Group is celebrating the 200-year anniversary of Pilkington – honouring a legacy of engineering brilliance that has transformed the way the world builds, travels and lives, while looking ahead to an even more innovative and sustainable future.

Current trends confirm the central role of glass in contemporary design, from coloured glass to decorative finishes and extra-clear glass.

Solving some of the world’s biggest sustainability challenges will take more than innovation alone. It will take collaboration – across teams, across regions, and across the entire value chain.

Pilkington Nederland, part of the NSG Group, proudly launches HomeComfort™ - a new brand concept that positions glass as an active element in comfort, energy, and experience. Under this name, innovative glass applications are bundled to promote smart, comfortable, and sustainable living - from thermal and solar control to acoustic comfort.

Pilkington Italia will be exhibiting at MADE Expo 2025, which is taking place from 19 to 22 November in Hall 3, Stand H24. The company will be showcasing numerous innovative solutions in the glass and architecture sector.

Pilkington Technology Management Limited, a global leader in glass technologies and part of NSG Group, has signed an agreement with NovaSklo to deliver engineering expertise for the construction of a float glass production line in the Kyiv region, Ukraine.
