Published 17th June, 2016 by Greg Morris

Glaston Corporation has closed a €2 million deal with US-based Cardinal Glass Industries.

Cardinal has ordered Glaston’s FC1000 toughening line, which is due to be delivered in December.

Cardinal bought its first Glaston FC1000 double chamber toughening line in November 2014, which was delivered in November 2015.

“This repeat order for the FC1000 tempering line continues the collaboration between Glaston and Cardinal, again based on the technological leadership of the equipment, and the uncompromised quality of the final product," stated Arto Metsänen, Glaston's President and CEO.

Cardinal has more than 6,000 employees located at 37 manufacturing locations around the USA. It also distributes its glass products worldwide.
