Bystronic Glass has handed over a newly constructed and fully equipped production plant for glass processing to Arc Glass Company, which is part of the Saudi-Arabian Al Harbi Holding enterprise.

The factory, which is equipped with a cutting and sorting system, fully automatic insulating glass line handling systems and lines for the production of laminated and toughened glass, was constructed on the sands of the Arabian Desert.

According to the company, this is the first installation where the system is directly connected to the furnace.

An official celebration took place on 22nd November 2011. Richard Jakob, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Bystronic Glass Group presented a large Swiss cowbell to Abdullah Al Harbi, Chairman of Al Harbi Holding and his son and CEO Fahed Al Harbi to mark the handover and start of production.
“We would like to express our gratitude that Al Harbi placed their trust in us for this unique and fascinating project and we hereby hand over the turnkey production plant to the Holding today,” said Mr Jakob.
