German Floatglass Technology GmbH and Nikolaus Sorg GmbH & Co.KG have entered a strategic agreement to work closely together in the fields of automobile, solar and architectural glass.
The goal of the agreement is to combine the strengths of SORG in the furnace area with GFT for the tin bath. The parties will be able to offer the hot end package for float glass lines up 1000 tons per day. Customers have the advantage of getting best in class technologies from one contractual party for this core area.
With this cooperation, we are meeting the customer trend to buy larger project packages and reduce interfaces. Customers also benefit from having access to the state of the art in melting and forming technology which is setting standards in glass quality, low energy consumption and high production yields.
Further information concerning our cooperation and capabilities are available from both parties at glasstec 2016. GFT will be in hall 13 stand F94. The SORG Group will be in hall 15 stand B39.
