Modernization and expansion of a float glass production plant to 1,600 tons per day

Pilkington Glass LLC is an operating industrial enterprise in the glass industry.

The company operated a production line with a capacity of 800 tons per day and was considering expansion as part of its long-term growth strategy.

The growth in demand for products and the company’s strategic plans required doubling production capacity. The key constraint was that the plant was already in operation.

To increase the total plant capacity to 1,600 tons of glass per day through the construction of a new production line and the creation of supporting infrastructure.

All solutions were developed taking into account industrial safety requirements and technological continuity.

A comprehensive modernization and expansion project was implemented, including:

The project became not just an expansion of capacity, but a platform for further expansion and strengthening of the company’s market position.

Scaling was carried out without loss of operational stability — which is critical for capital-intensive industrial assets.
