Glasstech automotive systems are the products of inventive minds, creative thinking and innovative problem solving. Time and production have proven, beyond a doubt, that our equipment is the most rugged, dependable and versatile.

The first automotive system introduced by Glasstech was the Quick Sag bending and tempering system in 1979, which revolutionized the production of automotive glass with its simplicity and high productivity – and with higher quality made possible through technology that eliminated tong marks and the associated glass distortion.

Glasstech advanced the capability of the Quick Sag process in 1985 with the introduction of the Deep Bend 4™ process, which gave glass processors the ability to produce deep bend glass with small radius bends and high quality. And in 1991, Glasstech introduced its original CRB™ system, which provided the ability to process OEM-quality cylindrical parts without requiring part-dedicated tooling.

Glasstech further expanded its product range in 2000 with the introduction of the EPB-T™ system, which has established new industry standards for sidelite glass. EPB-T provides the capability to meet rigid Volkswagen/Audi quality standards in a high production system with low tooling costs. Glasstech’s most recent automotive system for windshield glass, EPB-L™, offers glass processors major advantages – greater productivity, economical tooling and much lower energy costs – compared to traditional methods of bending windshield glass for laminating.

Glasstech’s commitment to the solar power industry is unparalleled in the field of glass shaping and strengthening technology. Glasstech provides precisely bent or curved glass equipment solutions for concentration solar power (CSP) and concentration photovoltaic (CPV) markets, as well as equipment solutions for fabrication of extremely flat glass for the photovoltaic (PV) market.

Glasstech systems provide tempered or heat-strengthened glass solutions that offer significant advantages, as tempered glass accounts for:

•Fewer installation failures and in-service failures from wind, hail and debris.
•Less collateral damage in the event of an in-service failure.
•Lower hardware costs compared to annealed glass installations.

So, whether you are a solar product manufacturer, glass fabricator, solar equipment supplier or turnkey system provider, Glasstech has the solution for you.
