Third furnace
18th February 2020

TUFFX has expanded its manufacturing facility by 6,000ft2, making way for the installation of a Glaston RC Series furnace, the third and largest furnace now in operation at the company’s Merseyside premises.

With TuffX being one of few companies able to process spans of glass up to 4.6 metres in length, part of the motivation behind recent improvements is focused on increasing throughput of orders for larger glass sizes.

The £750k investment comes after its expansion last year when the facility grew in size by almost 50%. “TuffX continues to gear up for growth, and to make sure we have the infrastructure in place to serve the growing market demand for high-performing, quality glass,” said Managing Director Graham Price.

“As the UK’s leading toughened safety glass manufacturers we need to ensure we continually strive to improve the tight lead times and high standards of service our customers have come to expect, and this expansion and investment are part of our ongoing commitment to that.”
