Tecnoglass changes all tempering furnaces over to Glaston FC500

Tecnoglass changes all tempering furnaces over to
Glaston FC500™
Choice of architects and consultants
A
relative newcomer to the
manufacturing of tempered,
laminated, insulated, silk screened
and curved glass. Tecnoglass was
founded in April 1994 in Barranquilla on
the northern coast of Colombia along the
Caribbean Sea. This location has proven
ideal when reaching outside its borders:
The US has become a major market for
the company over the past few years, as
well as countries in Central and South
America, and beyond.
“We have been very impressed with the
high quality of the machines. Also the
company provided us with a tremendous
amount of support when we first began
our production, which we really
appreciated,” states Christian T. Daes,
Owner and Managing Director of Tec-
noglass. Jose Manuel Daes
Today, the Tecnoglass facilities in Colombia
span over 1.2 million sq. ft. and include a
glass manufacturing and finishing facility,
an aluminum facility and a glazing company
with its own facilities. Manufacturing is
controlled from the beginning to end to
ensure superb quality for a very diverse
portfolio of glass products that are designed
for extremely demanding use, such as
meeting the challenging building regulations
in hurricane areas along the Gulf of Mexico
coastlines. The company also has a sales
and technical support office in Miami to
serve customers in the US.
“The results from our tests were so good that we decided to change all of our furnaces over to the
FC500™ to have the most modern fleet of furnaces in the world”
In a recent blind test of glass manufacturers in New York City, Tecnoglass of Colombia beat out its competitors by making
a real impact on architects and consultants with the glass quality it delivered as part of the bidding process. Tecnoglass
delivered visibly superior quality, thanks to its investment in a Glaston FC500™ tempering furnace. An order for an
additional five more FC500™ furnaces followed when Tecnoglass decided to change all its furnaces over to the world’s
most modern technology.
Newest fleet of furnaces
in the world
The decision to change over to the Glaston
FC500™ tempering furnace was quite
straightforward. Christian Daes explains:
“When we saw the new furnace about two
years ago at a show, we decided to test
one. The furnace features major tech-
nology changes. For example, quench
marks on the glass have been completely
eliminated.”
“The results from our tests were so good
that we decided to change all of our
furnaces over to the FC500™ to have the
most modern fleet of furnaces in the
world,” he continues with pride.
