Forglass has once more partnered with Saint-Gobain Glass to carry out hot overcoating operations on a float furnace at one of the company’s facilities in France. As a globally respected producer of high-performance, energy-saving coated glass and insulating glazing, Saint-Gobain Glass is committed to delivering top-tier comfort, efficiency, and safety to its clients—and expects the same standards from its partners.
One of the main reasons Saint-Gobain selected Forglass for this project was the company’s integrated approach, combining top-level engineering expertise with end-to-end project execution.
Planning hot overcoating projects involves not only technical precision but also careful consideration of human physical limits. Over 100 qualified professionals operate in short shifts to ensure safety and allow recovery time. Every stage of hot overcoating is timed to avoid extending the downtime between glass production cycles—meaning the margin for error is nonexistent. Execution must be flawless from the outset. Forglass’s ability to deliver this level of excellence is directly tied to the exceptional qualifications and dedication of its team members.
