What Uniglass does

Uniglass (legal entity: United Glass Industries Company), founded in 2010, is a Riyadh-headquartered architectural glass processor operating as a subsidiary of Saudi diversified conglomerate Al-Fozan Group. The company runs a four-city office network across Saudi Arabia (Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Makkah) and serves the GCC construction industry via direct B2B project-based sales to developers, architects, government entities, and contractors. Its customer portfolio spans mega-projects including the Riyadh Metro (85,000 sqm), Red Sea Development's Shura Island (60,000 sqm), NEOM, AL Othaim Mall, Imam Saud University, and multiple banks, hospitals, and hotels.

Uniglass's product portfolio covers six core categories: insulated glass units (IGUs) with primary PIB and secondary silicone seals and argon gas filling; laminated safety glass with PVB interlayers; decorative glass enabled by digital ceramic ink printing; pre-process glass fabrication (cutting, drilling, edge grinding up to 80mm thickness); heat-treated (fully toughened and heat-strengthened) glass; and heat-soaked glass for nickel sulphide risk reduction. Manufacturing assets include an FC 500 tempering furnace designed for advanced Low E coatings, an automatic argon gas filling line achieving a 0.95 W/m2K U-value, machine-bent spacer technology, and waterjet/polishing machinery. Maximum unit size capability is 5,000 x 2,700mm. Certifications include ISO, IGCC, SGCC, and SASO; warranties run 10 years on IGUs against seal failure and 5 years on laminated glass against defects.

The business model is project-based B2B manufacturing and supply, with quote-based unit pricing tied to specifications, volume, and project requirements. Sales are multi-year contract driven with construction industry counterparties. Marketing is direct-relationship driven through specifications, portfolio, and certifications rather than digital channels. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and no external funding rounds have been recorded; the company is privately held within the Al-Fozan Group family ownership structure.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Insulated Glass Units Insulating glass units composed of two or more glass panes with hermetically sealed air spaces that improve thermal performance by reducing heat gain or loss. Units are double sealed with primary polyisobutylene and secondary silicone seals, with argon gas filling options achieving U-value as low as 0.95 W/m2K. Sold to construction companies, developers, and architects for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects in the GCC.
• Laminated Safety Glass Sandwich of two glass sheets with poly-vinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer that provides safety protection as glass pieces stick to the PVB upon breakage. Offers security, sound insulation, and solar/heat protection. Carries a 5-year warranty against defects. Sold to construction projects for safety-critical applications.
• Decorative Glass Glass products featuring digital printing technology using ceramic inks, allowing customization with various colors and patterns. Includes dual image printing, simulated etch ink, and design options to simulate building materials. Sold to architects and developers for premium residential, hospitality, and commercial interiors and exteriors.
• Pre-Process Glass Advanced glass processing services including cutting any shape, holes, drilling, counter sinking, inner and outer edge grinding, seaming, and recesses for glass sheets up to 80mm thickness with polishing up to 19mm thickness. Provided to construction and architectural projects requiring custom-fabricated glass components.
• Heat Treated Glass Glass processed through tempering ovens to increase strength against impact, mechanical loads, and thermal stress. Includes fully toughened glass (approximately five times stronger than annealed glass) and heat-strengthened glass (approximately twice as strong). Sold for safety and structural applications in construction projects.
• Heat Soaked Glass Toughened safety glass subjected to further heat testing to reduce risk of spontaneous breakage from nickel sulphide inclusions. Used in roof glazing, balustrades, screens in public places, and frameless bolted glazing applications. Sold to construction projects where post-installation spontaneous breakage is a safety risk.
