Within the last 30 years, Press Glass has grown from a single facility into a household name among flat glass suppliers. 15 international facilities spread across Poland, Croatia, Italy, the UK and the US produce quality interior and exterior glass for the commercial and residential market. With an export rate of 80 percent, Press Glass supplies Scandinavia, the Baltics, Central and Southern Europe, the UK as well as North America.
The cooperation between Press Glass and LiSEC goes back almost 30 years. “From the very first facility, we bought high-end technology from LiSEC. Back then, that was not a common thing on the Polish market,” recalled Jakub Krakowski, Technology Development Director at Press Glass. “We are very transparent about building long-term partnerships with our suppliers. For us, a good partnership is mutually beneficial, allowing us to meet challenges and solve problems together.”
When Press Glass planned their most automated facility to date, they once again trusted LiSEC.
Mr. Krakowski, the head of a team of technicians who accompany the introduction of innovative solutions at Press Glass, talked about the intentions with the Nowogard project: “Our goal was to create a copy & paste facility, which Press Glass can reproduce in any new location. At Nowogard we looked into every process and worked out all the kinks.”
Located in northwestern Poland not far from the Baltic Sea, Press Glass Nowogard operates six cutting lines: one fully automatic laminated glass cutting line and one additional lami cutting bridge as well as five monolithic cutting tables. The six lines are fed by a gantry system on one end, and they feed into two large buffer systems on the other end. Each buffer in turn supplies two IG lines.
