Company information
NSG Group
The NSG Group is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of glass and glazing products for architectural, automotive and technical glass sectors.
With around 28,000 permanent employees, the group has principal manufacturing operations in 28 countries and sales in over 130. With just over a third of our sales in Europe, around a third are in Japan and the rest are primarily in North and South America, South East Asia and China.
In June 2006, the NSG Group acquired Pilkington, renowned for the invention of the Float Glass process, which revolutionised the world’s glass industry. The globally recognised Pilkington brand is widely used in our architectural and automotive businesses.
The group operates three worldwide business lines:
- Architectural supplies glass for buildings and solar energy applications.
- Automotive serves the original equipment, aftermarket replacement and specialised transport glazing markets.
- Technical glass products include very thin glass for displays, lenses and light guides for printers, as well as glass fibre used in battery separators and engine timing belts.
