Tamglass Ltd. Oy, a Kyro Group company, will establish a manufacturing unit for safety glass machines in the Tianjin area of China. The demand for tempered glass is rapidly increasing in China due to the development of safety glass regulations, building design and a growing economy, which boosts the demand for production machinery, the Finnish designer, manufacturer and marketer of glass tempering and laminating machinery said in a press release. “China, as a large country, represents a significant market for safety glass machines. Manufacturing locally facilitates cost effectiveness and the possibility of offering products in the local currency” said Tamglass President and CEO Pentti Yliheljo. The new production plant will manufacture flat tempering machines for glass manufacturers in the Chinese construction industry. The company will also be in charge of installation and after sales service in China. First deliveries from the new plant are scheduled for autumn 2001. The company has delivered approximately 1,300 safety glass production lines to 70 countries.
