Why
the float glass consortium? |
|
Basic
float glass manufacturing is now a mature technology and there are a
number of organisations who can offer the basic technology and
various components of a line- up to and including construction
through a series of sub-contract
relationships.
The
unique offering of the Consortium is that we are the only fully
independent organisation with the depth and breadth of design,
construction and operating expertise, experience and resources who
can offer a full turnkey package for high capability lines
incorporating the latest technology and operating procedures drawn
from the best that is available worldwide, based on objective
assessment and independent experience.
