Schott TGS Increases Glass Production Capacity

Aug 31 2010

With the expansion of a melting tank, Schott Technical Glass Solutions (TGS) has virtually doubled its production capacity and plans to bring another tank into operation in 2011. “We are increasing our production capacity in order to accelerate our growing traditional business,” was how Klaus Schneider, Managing Director at Schott TGS, explained the rebuilding of the tank which was brought back into use at the end of May. The facility now features an additional electric heating unit to increase the melting capacity, while the dimensions of the tank have remained the same. The use of microfloat technology also makes it possible to float smaller amounts of glass.

Schott TGS was established on 1 April 2009 as a legally independent unit of Schott Technology Holding Group, to concentrate its competence in the field of technical special flat glass.

In so doing, the newly founded subsidiary took over large parts of the former Jenaer Glaswerk resulting in a staff of 300 employees in Jena and a vast human resources potential based on over 30 sales offices worldwide.

“We develop new special glass directly in our production facilities and bring these to the market for our customers. We are not simply a supplier of glass but of new, ready-tomarket brands,” Klaus Schneider said. SI Analytics.
