Toughened glass producer TuffX, installed a new Glaston FC500 glass furnace at its Knowsley site as part of a. £3million staggered investment plan announced to the trade earlier this year.
“The recent furnace upgrade is already providing multiple benefits for our production process,” said commercial director Paul Higgins, “The new Glaston model we have installed is much faster but also more energy efficient than its predecessor, resulting in greater throughput and overall efficiency within our factory.
“This is the third Glaston furnace to be installed at our premises within the last six years, and a testament to TuffX’s drive for continual improvement, ensuring our customers can always depend on high quality products and reliable service.”
The company’s investment plan also includes a 30,000sqft extension to its production space, which is due to be completed in the autumn.
