UK Glass plant does more with £3million-plus investment
21st July 2015

GUARDIAN INDUSTRIES Glass Group in Europe is now able to make all of the more advanced coatings for its Guardian SunGuard SuperNeutral (SN) product series in the UK following a £3million-plus investment to upgrade the magnetron glass sputter coater at its plant in Goole, East Yorkshire.

Plant Manager Pablo Isasmendi said: “Manufacturing SunGuard glass in the UK allows a much greater level of flexibility for Guardian and its customers. To ensure we provide the same level of quality SunGuard products produced by our sister plants in continental Europe, we have also installed a sample-size toughening furnace that allows us to inspect the quality of the tempered product during every production run.”

Gordon Dickson, managing director of Ravensby Glass Co. Ltd., Dundee,which has been using the glass from new coater, said: “Ravensby Glass had been using imported Guardian SunGuard products in the UK for many years, and we made the switch to using SunGuard glass from the new Goole coater without issue. It offers the same high quality as the products from other Guardian facilities.”
