GLASS MAKING IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Based on scientific breakthrough discoveries, we believe in the power of our unique technology. As a constantly growing team of scientists, financial and sales experts, production and quality managers, we are working on Glassomer, the glass technology of the future: easy, powerful and energy saving.

Our Mission

We are building the glass production of the future!

Glass was crucial for the information age, is crucial for industry 4.0 and will be crucial for emerging technologies.

We believe that the unique products enabled by the Glassomer Process will forward markets like optics, data technology, MedTech and SolarTech while also contributing to the sustainability goals of modern production.

That is why we have assembled a dynamic team of scientists, financial experts and project managers to build the glass production of the future: unlimited designs of high quality glasses produced with lower energy consumption.
