HORN Glass Industries hosted a delegation from Kuwait-based Gulf Glass Manufacturing Co. K.S.C. at its headquarters in Plössberg, Germany, from 4 to 6 November 2026, for a three-day Factory Acceptance Test (FAT).
The FAT represents a key stage in the equipment delivery process, allowing the customer to verify the machinery, control systems and technical specifications before shipment.
Throughout the visit, HORN presented and demonstrated the equipment, carrying out a series of tests to assess its performance and functionality. A control system simulation was also conducted, offering the Gulf Glass team a closer look at the system’s configuration, architecture and operational capabilities.
The programme covered a detailed examination of the project scope, system layout and engineering design. Particular focus was placed on the furnace’s technical configuration, including utility connections, electrical installations and functional safety requirements. 
The joint review enabled both teams to assess the proposed solutions, clarify technical details and confirm alignment on the project’s requirements ahead of the next implementation stages.
