An acquisition of two factories of the Pilkington group and Cervoglass™

GLASS SYSTEMS has acquired two Pilkington group factories and their order book. Those factories have been producing insulating glass units for the residential market. The acquisition was formally proceeded by GLASS SYSTEMS North Limited, a company intentionally created for this purpose and directly dependent on PRESS GLASS UK Limited.

The factories are located in Cumbernauld near Glasgow and in Barnsley. The factory in Cumbernauld is to operate as GLASS SYSTEMS Scotland, the factory in Barnsley is to operate as GLASS SYSTEMS AG.
GLASS SYSTEMS North also acquired Cervoglass™ offering conservatory glass.

This acquisition increased to 20% (rough estimate) the share of the GLASS SYSTEMS’ companies in the residential market in the United Kingdom.  Thereby GLASS SYSTEMS strengthened its position of the largest insulating glass units manufacturer in the United Kingdom, making it possible to supply a full spectrum of sealed units nationwide.

All companies and factories of GLASS SYSTEMS are part of  the PRESS GLASS Group when acquired in September 2015 by its sister company PRESS GLASS UK Limited.

Nowadays, the GLASS SYSTEMS operates in six factories, located in the United Kingdom in Swansea, Port Talbot, Pontyclun, Peterborough, Cumbernauld, and Barnsley.

The PRESS GLASS group also offers in the United Kingdom wide portfolio of products for the commercial market under its original brand PRESS GLASS.
