100,000,000 and counting
1st May 2018

The UK’s first offline glass coating line, the 80-metre-long magnetron coater at Saint-Gobain Glass‘ manufacturing site at Eggborough, has produced 100 million square metres of coated glass, mostly SGG Planitherm Total+, since coming into operation in 2004.

The coater now produces up to 10 million sq m of glass each year of ten different coated glass products including solar control, self-cleaning and thermally efficient glass for commercial and residential buildings.

Ian Blatherwick, Manufacturing Manager Process, said: “This is a fantastic achievement and demonstrates the production expertise that we’ve built up over the past 14 years. The coater has been constantly maintained and upgraded as we’ve innovated and developed new high-performance coatings to meet the changing demands of the market.”
