Systemglas moves ahead with Glaston RC200
Since Systemglas began just over 10 years ago, the company has been growing faster than ever expected. At the start, the company focused on cutting fire-resistant glass and insulated glass (IG) units with great success. With the installation in autumn 2013 of its first tempering furnace, Glaston RC200, Systemglas has been continuing to experience phenomenal growth for its tempered glass products.
“When we made the decision to buy the Glaston RC200 tempering furnace, it was really scary. It was definitely the hardest investment decision we ever had to make until now because we had had no experience from tempering before,” Rickard Schönfeldt, CEO of Systemglas points out. “No matter how good the machinery is – you need the experience.”
“Working with Glaston in Finland has been very easy, as many of our contacts can speak Swedish, which was really important to us when we placed the order. We started tempering small test pieces – and from there, moved forward. We’re learning the entire time. But the tempered glass quality we’ve been able to produce has been excellent.”
– Rickard Schönfeldt, CEO of Systemglas

“We saw the move into laminating glass as an exciting opportunity to explore. It gives us an open door to many new areas, such as security, acoustic and decorative glass. After thoroughly reviewing six lines, we chose Glaston’s ProL lamination thanks to its convection heating and simplicity,” say Consolidated Glass Corporation’s Brad Bartley, General Manager, and Lindsey Merryman, Lamination Line Program Manager.

“For nearly 25 years, our second-hand Glaston tempering line served customers with quality glass tempering. But after numerous upgrades and rebuilds, it was simply time to invest in a new tempering line. Glaston’s RC Series fit our needs. Now, we’re looking forward to operating it for the next 20+ years,” says Mats Pihlqvist, Site Manager at Industriglas AB in Jönköping, Sweden.
