Pilkington’s float plant in Ostrołęka, Poland, has been completed. The works opened in 2020, and the expansion was aimed at doubling the plant's production capacity. The expansion represents an over $9 million-dollar investment.
Between June and December 2020, a new production hall was built, and two cutting tables and one line for the production of insulating glass units were launched. The second phase began in March 2022 and ended a month later. As part of it, a glass cutting table and a line for the production of insulating glass units were launched. The works related to the expansion did not interfere with the normal operation of the plant and did not delay the execution of orders. The project was implemented by the company ANNA-BUD from Bilcza.
The expansion of the Pilkington IGP factory in Ostrołęka is not the company's last investment. It has further plans to expand its plants as well as develop new, specialized types of glasses. The plans for the coming years include further activities in the field of energy transformation, which will reduce the company's environmental impact, say officials.
