The decision to build Pilkington IGP's glass processing plant was based on growing demand for glass and insulating glass units. The investment will create new jobs, shorter lead times and enhanced production capacity. The new plant is scheduled for commissioning in May 2023.

“We have constantly been searching for new ways of development. This time it is a production boost driven by market development. Therefore, the local management of the company and the Management Board of the NSG Group decided to establish a new Pilkington IGP branch in Sandomierz. For us, this is an opportunity for growth and a response to the needs of our key accounts in southern Poland. The Pilkington brand has been known in Sandomierz for many years, with the headcount of almost 2,000 people in this city alone. The upgrading process will enable us to further boost the headcount,” stated Krzysztof Granicki, CEO of Pilkington Polska and Pilkington IGP.

The purchase of specialised machinery and equipment has been planned, including two manufacturing lines for insulating glass units, glass cutting tables, scissor lifts, manipulators, benders, overhead cranes, etc. They will be installed in a production hall of approximately 5,250m2. Additionally, the project provides for almost 1,000m2 of office, social and warehousing space.
