Glaston Oyj : Amber-Glass selects Glaston to support its century-long growth

RC350 strengthens tempering capabilities

From a Polish family tradition, where knowledge of glass was passed through generations, Amber-Glass has accepted new challenges and changed with time. 'Today, we are extending the possibilities of our glass processing business,' says Marcin Karel, Member of the Board and Production Director of Amber-Glass. 'We're doing this by using only high-end machines from the best manufacturers, so we can deliver the best-quality products and service.'

Amber-Glass is located within 600 km of six European capitals - Berlin, Vienna, Prague, Bratislava, Budapest and Warsaw. An excellent business location, but widespread urbanization has created more environmental concerns. Companies committed to energy efficiency, such as Amber-Glass, are front-runners in Chorzow.

Using eco-friendly methods, Amber-Glass has continued its business expansion. In 2016, the company decided to improve their glass processing by strengthening the company's tempering capabilities while staying energy efficient. As part of this ambitious aim, Amber-Glass purchased a Glaston RC350 tempering furnace.

'Our furnace is equipped with Glaston Insight, for monitoring production data, energy consumption and maintenance needs,' Marcin notes. 'One year of use,
however, is little time to fully understand all the capabilities of such machines.'

'It didn't take long to see that the new quality of glass, simplicity of operation and the availability of performance reports are the best parts of Glaston RC350. Definitely the biggest advantage is the quality can now offer our customers, and they've noticed the difference too,' he says.
