of Press Glass history
Continuous development
We started our business in 1991 - at that time we produced our insulated glass units in a single factory located in Nowa Wieś, Poland. In the first 10 years we became the largest Polish manufacturer of insulated glass units.
In 2001, we began export sales, the construction of futher factories in Poland and the expansion of our product range for new market segments.
Thanks to the trust our customers have placed in us and the values we represent, after another ten years in business we have become a leading European processor of glass for the construction industry.
Currently, we have been continuing our international expansion for over 10 years. In 2014, we established our first companies outside Poland, and in 2015, our first foreign production plants. During this time, we also began to grow through acquisitions of companies in our industry.
The company's new headquarters, located in Konopiska near Częstochowa, opened in 2020.
At present, we have 12 factories, with an annual production capacity of more than 13 million m2 of insulated glass units. We cooperate with several hundred regular customers in Europe and other continents. We use about 25 million m2 of base glass annually to manufacture all types of our products.
