ENERGY SAVING GLASS LTD (UK): “HIGH QUALITY RESIDENTIAL IGU, THANKS TO FOREL MACHINERY”

Forel Arrissing Machine is known for being a very fast solution for edge processing, do you confirm it?

Absolutly yes: with its 2 operative heads, the double carriage system and the patents for a perfect hold on the glass sheet, the Art. EG can offer at the same time high speed and a constant quality of edging that we require. It's also very user-friendly, our staff find very easy to operate with it.

How do you evaluate the UK market today? Is it growing, stable or is it lowering? Which could be the next trend in the glass business? How did the last year of the Covid pandemic affect your activity?

"At present we find the market in a very healthy state. The demand for I.G.U in the UK is higher than what is being manufactured and I don't believe this will change for the rest of 2021. The only issue that is holding us back is the UK glass shortage, so we are only able to produce the amount of I.G.U's that we have enough stock glass for. We are finding that all sectors that require I.G.U are extremely busy. The Covid pandemic only affected us when we were forced to stop manufacture for several weeks, during the first national lockdown. Other than that, its been busier than ever before: as I believe, people are investing in their own homes. As they are not able to spend money that they would normally spend, for the restrictions placed by the government, they have more money to invest in new windows, doors, etc."
