In November 2024, Press Glass UK officially launched its new glass production base in Talbot Port, marking the beginning of a new stage of strategic integration of the company's "three factories in one" strategy. This modern factory covering an area of 23000 square meters is not only a key step for Press Glass UK to optimize its production layout, but also an important pivot for improving its automation level and seizing market opportunities.

In terms of equipment configuration in the new factory, Press Glass UK has made a high specification plan: introducing 6 insulated glass production lines from LiSEC, 7 LiSEC cutting tables, and 3 LiSEC KSR edge grinders, along with 3 tempering furnaces provided by another supplier. The strong equipment lineup endows the new factory with excellent production capacity - currently, it can stably produce 32000 sets of insulated glass units (IGUs) per week, and the future production capacity can be increased to up to 55000 sets/week, leaving ample space to cope with market demand growth.

Automation as the core, anchoring the future development direction

When it comes to the original intention of building the new Talbot Port factory, Khaled Elleboudy, General Manager of Press Glass UK, clearly stated: "Our core goal is to integrate the three previously scattered factories into one base, improve production efficiency and reduce overall costs through centralized operation, and more importantly, achieve higher dimensional automation production. In our view, automation is the core competitiveness of the future industry development

Based on decades of trust, LiSEC has become the preferred choice for cooperation

Press Glass UK's decision to deeply collaborate with LiSEC is not accidental, but stems from the stable cooperative relationship accumulated by both parties over decades, as well as the reliable quality of LiSEC equipment that can withstand the test of time. In fact, Press Glass UK has been using LiSEC cutting tables and KSR edge grinders for decades, and some of the equipment has achieved stable operation for 30 years, proving the excellent reliability and durability of LiSEC products through actual performance. This has also become an important cornerstone for the deepening cooperation between the two parties.

During the project execution, the LiSEC team carried out personalized modifications to multiple core equipment such as cutting tables and production lines based on the actual needs of Press Glass UK. At the same time, relying on the dual experience support of the local team in the UK and the headquarters team in Austria, LiSEC has fully demonstrated its profound strength in customized services and professional technology, injecting key momentum into the smooth production and efficient operation of Press Glass UK's new factory.

Building a foundation for win-win cooperation and empowering future growth

The deep cooperation between Press Glass UK and LiSEC has not only streamlined and unified the production process of the new Talbot Port factory, but also achieved significant results in improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality. For Press Glass UK, the stable operation of the new factory has paved the way for its future capacity expansion, and the construction of an automated production system has also given the company a stronger core advantage in fierce market competition. The cooperation between the two parties is not only a successful project landing, but also sets an example for the coordinated development of equipment suppliers and production enterprises in the industry, laying a solid foundation for further exploration of cooperation in more fields.
