Roland Glass has taken another step in its long-term growth strategy with the installation of a Biesse/Intermac Edge Pro SF50 11A glass edging machine, reinforcing the company’s commitment to advanced processing technologies and higher production efficiency. The investment represents one of the latest additions to the company’s continuously expanding manufacturing facility and reflects its focus on increasing capacity while maintaining high processing standards.

The new Edge Pro SF50 11A is among the newest generation of glass edging machines from Biesse and is considered one of the most advanced installations of its kind currently operating in the Balkans. Equipped with 11 grinding wheels, the machine incorporates a fully automatic stone management system that automatically calibrates the grinding wheels to ensure optimum edge quality throughout production. This automation minimizes manual adjustments, improves consistency and allows operators to achieve precise finishing with greater efficiency.

Another key feature is Biesse’s latest control platform, designed with a modern, user-friendly interface that simplifies machine operation while improving production monitoring and process management.

According to Roland Glass, the investment was driven by the need to increase throughput in the edging department. Until now, despite having modern cutting equipment capable of delivering high output, glass edging had become the main production bottleneck due to the heavy workload placed on a single machine.

With the installation of a second edging line, the company can now dedicate one machine to monolithic glass while processing laminated glass on the other. This significantly improves workflow organisation, reduces waiting times between production stages and increases the overall processing capacity of the factory.

The additional production capability enables Roland Glass to respond more efficiently to growing market demand, undertake larger project volumes and maintain shorter delivery times without compromising quality. The investment has also contributed to higher processing quality, improved operational performance and the creation of new employment opportunities.

Founded in 2005, Roland Glass has established itself as one of Albania’s leading architectural glass processors through continuous investment in technology, automation and skilled personnel. The addition of the Biesse Edge Pro SF50 11A further demonstrates the company’s clear vision for sustainable growth and its determination to remain at the forefront of glass processing innovation in the region.
