Euroglas

What Euroglas does

Euroglas is a European manufacturer of float glass and value-added glass products, operating four production sites in Haldensleben and Osterweddingen (Germany), Hombourg (France), and Ujazd (Poland) with 501–1,000 employees. The company is wholly owned by the Swiss family-held Glas Trösch Holding AG (headquartered in Bützberg, Switzerland) and produces a base float glass branded EUROFLOAT, an extensive SILVERSTAR coatings family (thermal insulation, SUNSTOP solar control, COMBI, high-selectivity, anti-reflective, mirrored, and anti-condensation glasses), and Verbundsicherheitsglas (VSG) laminated safety glass.

The underlying manufacturing technology is the float process — glass melting, refining, and floating on a tin bath to produce flat glass with uniform thickness — augmented by Euroglas's proprietary in-house melting furnace designs, a patented cullet (broken glass) return system, electroboosting, electrostatic precipitators, DeNOx emission control, and energy recovery systems that cover approximately one quarter of the works' electricity demand. The company also publishes a glass configuration calculation program, SILVERSTAR glaCE, used by architects and processors.

Euroglas operates a B2B direct-sales model, engaging architects, planners, builders, glass processors, and increasingly solar PV developers via contact forms on a multi-language (German, English, French, Polish) website and dedicated international request handling. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company's commercial differentiation is built around the group-wide 'Green for Generations' sustainability program: ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 certified, with a 2025 Environmental Product Declaration placing 4mm EUROFLOAT at 8.45 kg CO2e/m2 (approximately 14% below 2024), and EPD documentation that supports DGNB, LEED, and BREEAM green-building certifications for downstream customers.

Product overview

Euroglas is a glass manufacturer and part of the Swiss Glas Trösch Gruppe (family-owned company). Their product portfolio centers on float glass as the foundational base product (EUROFLOAT), which is enhanced through various functional glass coatings applied at their manufacturing facilities. The coating offerings include thermal insulation glass, solar control glass (SUNSTOP), combined COMBI products, high-selectivity glass, anti-reflective glass, mirrored glass, and anti-condensation glass. Additional products include safety glass/laminated safety glass (VSG). A supporting software tool, SILVERSTAR glaCE, provides glass configuration calculations. The company operates under a sustainability initiative called 'Green for Generations,' with climate-friendly float glass production using renewable energy and recycled glass cullet. Manufacturing is conducted at four European sites: Haldensleben and Osterweddingen (Germany), Hombourg (France), and Ujazd (Poland).

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Saint-Gobain: Saint-Gobain is the largest European flat and processed glass producer through its Saint-Gobain Glass division. It competes directly with Euroglas on float glass and architectural coated glass, with a far broader product portfolio, deeper R&D, and global scale. Comparable as the dominant European incumbent in the same product categories.
• Schott AG: Schott is a German-headquartered global glass specialist (technical, pharmaceutical, and architectural). While architectural glass is a smaller segment, Schott overlaps with Euroglas in high-performance flat-glass products, coating capabilities, and serves European architects/specifiers in adjacent categories.
• Şişecam: Şişecam is one of the world's largest flat and container glass producers, with European operations competing in float and architectural coated glass. Comparable as a global incumbent with growing European float and coated-glass capacity, putting competitive pressure on Euroglas in commodity segments.

Regional players

• Vitro Architectural Glass: Vitro is a major North American architectural glass producer with an expanding international presence. Comparable as a large flat-glass incumbent with an active low-carbon coated product line targeting the same high-performance architectural segment as Euroglas, primarily in a different geography.

Emerging players

• Xinyi Glass: Xinyi Glass is a leading Chinese float and solar-glass manufacturer with rapidly expanding overseas capacity targeting European solar-glass demand. It is comparable as a solar-glass competitor at scale that increasingly threatens Euroglas in the European solar PV glass segment.
• Central Glass Co., Ltd. Central Glass is a Japanese specialty and architectural glass maker expanding into European and solar-glass markets. Comparable as an emerging player in coated and specialty architectural glass with overlap to Euroglas' coated product portfolio.

Direct peers

• NSG Group (Pilkington): NSG Group, owner of the Pilkington brand, is a global float and value-added glass manufacturer with substantial European production. It competes head-to-head with Euroglas in float glass, coated architectural glass, and is a major European solar-glass supplier.
• Guardian Glass: Guardian Glass operates European float facilities and a broad coated-glass portfolio (SunGuard) aimed at the same architectural and solar-glass end markets as Euroglas. Comparable as a global float-glass competitor with strong European presence in coated products.
• AGC Glass Europe: AGC Glass Europe (formerly Glaverbel) operates multiple float glass plants across Europe alongside coated and processed glass. It is the most direct large-scale competitor to Euroglas in European float glass, offering overlapping architectural and solar-glass products.

Others

• Glas Trösch Group: Glas Trösch is the Swiss family-owned parent of Euroglas and one of Europe's largest glass processors and distributors. While not a direct competitor, it is comparable as a vertically integrated European glass group whose downstream processing network pulls through Euroglas float and coated products.
