Forglass is pleased to announce a recent collaboration with Saint-Gobain Glass , successfully completing hot overcoating operations on a float furnace at one of their esteemed facilities in France. This project marks another significant partnership between our two organizations, reinforcing a shared commitment to operational excellence and technical precision within the glass manufacturing industry.
Saint-Gobain Glass, a globally respected leader in the production of high-performance, energy-saving coated glass and insulating glazing, sets a benchmark for comfort, efficiency, and safety. Their dedication to delivering superior products to their clients naturally extends to the rigorous standards they expect from their partners. Forglass is proud to meet these expectations, offering a comprehensive approach that aligns seamlessly with Saint-Gobain’s values.
A key factor in Saint-Gobain’s decision to entrust Forglass with this crucial project was our integrated methodology. This approach leverages deep engineering expertise and combines it with meticulous end-to-end project execution. In the demanding environment of a hot overcoating operation, this holistic approach is paramount to success.
Executing a hot overcoating project demands not only technical proficiency but also a profound understanding of the human element. The process necessitates the deployment of over 100 qualified professionals, operating in carefully managed short shifts. This critical safety measure ensures that personnel can perform their tasks effectively while allowing adequate recovery time, mitigating risks inherent in high-temperature environments.
Furthermore, the timing of hot overcoating is meticulously planned to minimize downtime between glass production cycles. This strict timeline leaves no margin for error; flawless execution is required from the very beginning. Forglass’s consistent ability to achieve this level of precision is a direct testament to the exceptional qualifications, unwavering dedication, and collaborative spirit of our entire team.

This successful partnership with Saint-Gobain Glass underscores Forglass’s capabilities in delivering complex, time-sensitive projects within the glass industry. We value the trust placed in us by a company with Saint-Gobain’s reputation and look forward to future opportunities to contribute to their continued success.
