Hornos Industriales PUJOL has acquired the glass division of the Italian company TEKNOKILNS. The agreement incorporates the entire client portfolio, services, know-how and engineering for the manufacture and development of thermal tempering furnaces by the Italian company. Production will move to Barcelona, Spain.

The agreement is part of the company's expansion plan and strengthens PUJOL'S position in all transformation processes associated with the concept of safety glass. This also covers a gap in its product portfolio.

Jorge Pujol CEO of PUJOL affirms “This new acquisition, together with PUJOL's centuries-old tradition and experience in the development of ovens, reinforces our commitment as a company to our customers to offer them a reliable and advanced product. We are following our “Road Book 2020” which we were forced to pause and review due to the COVID pandemic, but now we are back to cruising speed that has always differentiated us as a leading and innovative company.”

For his part, Joaquín Pujol, commercial director of PUJOL remarked, “We are fully satisfied to close a new circle, which surely will not be the last within our Plan. Our customers will benefit from a product and a global offer with a high technological value that will allow them to gain in competitiveness and service."
