Consolidated Glass Corp. has increased its capacity at its New Castle, Pennsylvania, location.
With a new Glaston RC200 tempering oven, the second tempering line at the site, the company will be able to produce 250,000 square feet of tempered glass per month.
In addition to the new tempering oven, Consolidated Glass also invested in an expansion to its packing warehouse, increasing packing capacity by over 10,000 square feet.
“We are seeing a lot of great things happening in our industry including an overall increase in business levels year after year, which meant our capacity had to expand as well,” says Louis Merryman, president and CEO. “The only way for us to excel in this quick-turn environment was to make this substantial investment in our production capacity.”
