NSG Group announced the warm up of a newly converted TCO (transparent conductive oxide) facility in the United States.
Details on new investment
An existing float line at the Rossford, Ohio factory of Pilkington North America, Inc., a member of NSG Group, has been converted to begin producing TCO glass starting in March 2025. The conversion represents a significant investment by the group, resulting in the retention and creation of jobs at the site.
This investment is to support the expansion strategy of First Solar, Inc., a photovoltaic (PV) solar technology and manufacturing company. First Solar is focused on competitively and reliably enabling power generation needs with its thin film PV technology. First Solar and NSG share a long-standing strategic partnership.
Manufactured with the online coating technology, in which a conductive oxide on the glass surface is formed during its passage through the float line, NSG’s TCO glass is very durable with a wide range of applications. Online coating also enables cost-effective production of coated glass in high volume.
