Saudi American Glass announces expansion
Massive capacity boost for Dubai Investments subsidiary
Saudi American Glass (SAG) has announced increased production that will boost its output energy-efficient glass by 400% to reach seven million square meters per annum.
The company, a component of Glass LLC and a subsidiary of Dubai Investments PJSC, says the capacity expansion is an “organic progression” of the company, and follows an earlier announcement of two new sales offices for SAG and sister company Emirates Glass in Riyadh and Jeddah.
“The increase in production capacity, which has led to an increase in output by 2.5 million sq. meters per annum, will allow us to cater to a larger market base,” commented senior vice president of sales and marketing Ziad Yazbeck.
“Additionally, our new sales offices will deliver enhanced services to our customers and respond to their demand for high performance glass. The launch of Vitroglaze to the Saudi market further underscores our policy to support the environment and promote green development,” Yazbeck added.
Saudi American Glass has also introduced the self-cleaning Vitroglaze to the Saudi market, becoming the only provider of self-cleaning glass that uses nanotechnology to minimize maintenance costs.
SAG’s products are marketed as solutions providing low visible light internal reflectance to help building occupants get a clearer view, particularly at night. Contributing the lower HVAC loads, the double silver coatings on glass lower U-values and ensure higher insulation, according to the company.
“Since its inception in 1978, SAG has occupied a strategic position as the leading processor of architectural flat glass in Saudi Arabia. We have achieved high output levels through the close integration of our units under Glass LLC,” Yazbeck also said.
