Glass buying group doubles
14th November 2017

The National Glass Group buying organisation says its members’ collective turnover has doubled to £90million following the announcement this week of new members Crystal Units and Ecoglass as well as the Nova Group earlier this year.

Crystal Units was established in 1994 and operates from its facility in North West London, serving the South East of England in both commercial and domestic markets. The heritage of Ecoglass stretches back to 1949 from its base in Norwich, where it has grown to be the supplier of choice in East Anglia and beyond.

NGG is a wholly member-owned group that represents glass processors in the UK including existing members Clayton Glass, Custom Glass and Northern Express Glass, Nova Group, Romag and Supaseal Glass. Collectively the members employ over 800 people across 12 sites, with annual purchases exceeding £30million, it also claims to be for the largest independent buyer of sheet glass in the UK.

The addition of Crystal Units and Ecoglass move the group closer to its goal of representing 25% of flat glass purchases in the UK, achieved through organic growth of the members and through the introduction of new companies to the organisation.

NGG co-director Ryan Green said: “A key principle of the group is that we maintain the high quality and ethos as we grow, by ensuring the new members are independent, financially strong and excel through operational quality and service. The collective group now service the entire UK, operating in both commercial and domestic markets, along with niche products and markets.”
