Interview 

With SOPs in place, we’re convinced to 

open our shows in 1st half of ‘22: Thomas 

Schlitt, MD- Messe Düsseldorf India 

Schlitt Talks To GB About How Exhibition Industry Is Recovering From 

COVID-19 Onslaught 

Ahead of glasspro INDIA and glasspex INDIA slated for March 2022, Messe Düsseldorf 

India MD Thomas Schlitt explains to Glass Bulletin how the sector is emerging from the 

shadow of the pandemic and what steps are being taken to ensure safety and hygiene at 

these events. 

Mr. Thomas Schlitt, 

MD of Messe Düsseldorf India 

Thomas Schlitt joined Messe Düsseldorf India as Managing Director in 2015. During his tenure at Messe 

Düsseldorf India, he has focused on the core sectors, strengthened the existing trade fairs in India and 

also extended the event portfolio. Previously, Thomas Schlitt held management positions in international 

business development and sales in the MICE industry at renowned German trade fair organizations, i.e. 

Messe München and Nürnberg Messe. 

Please tell us about Messe 

Düsseldorf GmbH & its 

exhibitions in India? 

Messe Düsseldorf GmbH is one 

of the world’s largest trade fair 

organizers with its own exhibition 

grounds and offers its presence in 

more than 150 countries around the 

globe. We organize 50 international 

trade fairs, among these are 24 

leading events in the respective 

industry sector. 

Messe Düsseldorf India Pvt. Ltd. 

is a fully owned subsidiary of Messe 

Düsseldorf GmbH which is a global 

player both as a trade fair organizer 

and provider of trade fair-related 

services for exhibitors and visitors. 

Messe Düsseldorf India has been 

successfully staging established trade 

fairs like In-Store Asia, Medical Fair 

India, FAMDENT Shows & Awards, 

glasspex India, glasspro India, 

pacprocess & food pex Mumbai, 

India Essen Welding & Cutting, wire 

India, Tube India, METEC India 

and ProWine Mumbai. Besides 

organizing successful trade fairs 

in India, the company is also the 

exclusive sales representative of 

the Messe Düsseldorf Group for the 

Indian Market and is canvassing 

Indian customers to events of the 

Messe Düsseldorf Group worldwide. 

– India and the whole world 

faced a very difficult time during 

the pandemic in the last 18 

months. The exhibition industry 

is one the most affected. What 

50 Glass Bulletin | July - September, 2021

Interview • 2 

are your views about this? 

Exhibitions and tradeshows have 

survived, adapted and thrived despite 

unprecedented times like pandemics 

and other global challenges during the 

past several centuries. However, the 

COVID-19 situation has affected the 

business adversely, particularly the 

trade fair sector, not only in India but 

across the world. We have witnessed 

many trade shows being either 

postponed or cancelled internationally 

in the past 18 months. 

Due to this situation new kinds 

of platforms have been invented 

in order to keep in touch with the 

industry. Messe Düsseldorf India 

has successfully developed and 

implemented virtual events for 

several industrial sectors. As industry 

stakeholders, we are grateful to our 

customers for their continued support 

in our events. 

– After a long period of pandemic, 

things are getting better day 

by day. When do you think 

exhibitions in India will resume 

normally? 

Keeping in view the intensive 

vaccination drive in India coupled 

with the adoption of COVIDappropriate 

behaviour with defined 

Standard Operation Procedures 

(SOP) at our trade fairs, we are 

convinced to open our shows in the 

first half of 2022. 

– What are the new protocols to 

be followed as an organizer of an 

exhibition? 

Messe Düsseldorf Group, 

together with Messe Düsseldorf 

India, has elaborated under the 

title ‘PROTaction’, a comprehensive 

hygiene and infection protection 

concept in order to safeguard the 

health of our customers, partners and 

employees. 

This hygiene and infection 

protection concept has been 

submitted to the Indian Authorities 

for consideration at SOPs for reopening 

of trade fairs in India. 

– As we all know India has the 

fastest growing economy in the 

world. How can exhibitions play a 

vital role for the industry? 

India’s progressive economy is 

anticipated to reach around $5 trillion 

in the next few years with active 

contribution from the manufacturing, 

technology and services sectors. 

The exhibition industry has always 

played a pivotal role in strengthening 

and growing the economy. Messe 

Düsseldorf exhibitions worldwide, 

including those in India, are of worldclass 

reputation. Many of our events 

have already established themselves 

as leading events and are platforms 

for the industry to create business 

opportunities, to build cooperations 

and to network. 

– glasspro INDIA and glasspex 

INDIA will be held in March 2022. 

What are your plans to bring in 

maximum exhibitors and visitors? 

The tailor-made trade fair concepts 

complement each other and create a 

unique platform for the glass industry. 

Comprehensive sales, marketing and 

communication measures will ensure 

that decision makers, stakeholders 

and relevant media representatives 

attend the events. 

– You have added a new 

segment to glasspro India i.e 

fenestrationpro India. Tell us 

about this new segment. 

fenestrationpro INDIA is a show colocated 

with glasspro INDIA to unite 

the architects, fabricators, developers, 

policymakers, façade consultants, 

engineers, and stakeholders from the 

Indian industry to drive discussions 

on the design trends considering 

energy-efficient building technologies. 

– It is a very good coincidence 

that United Nations has 

announced 2022 as the 

international year for glass. We 

have glasspro India and glasspex 

India in same year. Do you have 

any plan to promote IYOG in your 

glass exhibition? 

By announcing the year 2022 as the 

International Year of Glass (IYOG), 

the United Nations underlined the 

scientific, economic and cultural roles 

of glass. Glass supports many vital 

technologies, facilitates sustainability 

and enriches our lives. 

Messe Düsseldorf India, along with 

its partners, is proud to host the IYOG 

during our exhibitions - glasspex 

INDIA and glasspro INDIA. We will 

promote the importance of glass usage 

along with AIGMF and International 

Commission of Glass. 

– You are organizing glasspro 

India in close cooperation with 

Glass Bulletin. Share your 

thoughts on your association with 

Glass Bulletin? 

Glass Bulletin is India’s premier 

journal for the global glass industry. 

It is the ideal platform to publish 

news, reports, product details, and 

information about glass industry, both 

in print and online. 

Messe Düsseldorf India is proud 

to be associated with Glass Bulletin. 

This association of the leading media 

and trade fair organizer is the perfect 

combination, and it guarantees a 

platform where business is generated.

Successful premiere 

for Glaston 

Innovation Days 

Several Current & Potential Customers From 

Across The World Registered For The Six Sessions 

Glaston successfully organized the first-ever Glaston 

Innovation Days, a virtual customer event on the latest 

innovations and trends in architectural, automotive and 

display glass processing from June 16-18. 

Several hundreds of Glaston 

current and potential customers 

from all over the world registered 

for the total of six sessions in which 

Glaston’s product and industry experts 

shared their insights on the latest 

developments in glass processing 

technologies. 

Hosted from a production hall at 

Glaston’s premises in Neuhausen- 

Hamberg, Germany, two live stream 

sessions were run daily: one on the 

latest developments in architectural 

glass and the other focusing on the 

latest news from Glaston’s automotive 

and display glass technologies. 

Digitalization and automation 

In the architectural glass session, the 

digitalization of the flat tempering 

process was demonstrated with the 

latest innovations such as online 

fragmentation prediction for every 

glass and the white haze detection 


Glaston • 2 

using Artificial Intelligence (AI). 

In addition, integrated lines and 

a tempering process autopilot were 

introduced. The autopilot reduces the 

operator’s influence and offers process 

control without parameters. A higher 

degree of automation is also on the 

agenda for the laminating process and 

with the autopilot, the furnace will 

learn to achieve the most optimal way 

of running instead of operators having 

to do adjustments manually. 

The trend in flat lamination is a 

growing use of structural interlayers 

and for that Glaston introduced the 

new convection control technology, 

offering a significantly wider operating 

window even with complex laminates. 

For the insulating glass 

manufacturing process, the new 

arrissing machine MULTI’ARRISSER 

was introduced via live demonstration 

from the factory floor. Combining edge 

arrissing, arrissing of the flat edge 

and corner dubbing into one single 

machine, the MULTI’ARRISSER 

represents the proven cup wheel 

technology for homogeneous and 

uniform arrissing quality even at the 


Event 

beginning and the end with a 5 to 10 

times higher lifetime for glass edge 

arrissing than any other arrissing 

systems. 

With a maximum speed of 60 

m/min, the MULTI’ARRISSER is 

the fastest single-head machine 

worldwide. 

In addition, the new 

CORNER’REFINER for sealed 

insulating glass units was 

demonstrated, an automatic corner 

treatment with spatula system and 

corner roll for finishing to reveal 

unloading operator from this work. 

For swift customer support, 

Glaston Virtual Engineer service was 

presented with a Glaston specialist 

advises and support customer’s 

workforce virtually on-site using 

mixed reality (MR) headset. The 

solution gives cost savings of 10% - 

40% per intervention as e.g. no travels 

are required. 

Highlights of automotive & display 

glass session 

In the automotive industry, thin glass 

applications are a continuing trend. 

For thin glass pre-processing Glaston’s 

thin glass kit that can be installed as 

an upgrade kit on new and existing 

cells, was presented. 

With significantly improved 

performance parameters, the 

new HYPERFEX grinding wheels 

represents a revolution in edge 

grinding, with a holistic view of the 

overall process in pre-processing of 

glasses for different application areas. 

Furthermore, the new automotive 

machine generation CHAMP Evo 

with two optimization features was 

introduced to the audience with the 

first being a linear drive instead of the 

spindle on the grinding machine for 

higher precision and more dynamic 

movements, and the other one a 

honeycomb table on grinding machine 

for higher precision and more 

dynamic movements. 

Showcasing developments in 

Heat Treatment automotive glass 

processing showed how Glaston’s 

active convection technology improves 

the process with coated, printed and 

complex glass types and enables faster 

heating. 

The advantages of the new Matrix 

Evo bending furnace, available 

with different size and capacity 

configurations to reduce cycle times, 

was introduced, as well as the new 

HTBS bending and tempering system 

with the most dense control matrix in 

the market to meet the highest quality 

standards with bent tempered glass. 

Included in the subscription-based 

services, the digital upgrade packages 

for operator and production support, 

the Glaston Insight Automotive 

PLUS as well as various Apps were 

presented.

The company organised puja for 

the new venture on July 16, 2021. 

Bharat Safety Glass had started its 

safety glass business in 1988. Initially, 

it had vertical toughened glass plant 

setup for the automotive industry. 

The company imported a laminated 

machine from world famous brand 

Tamglass (Finland) in 1998. 

After its installation, the company 

started to supply automotive glass as 

OEM to Tata Motors, Bajaj, Mahindra, 

Hindustan Motors and many more. 

BSG then set up a horizontal 

flat and bend furnace of LandGlass 

(China) in 2012. The company got the 

furnace customised from LandGlass 

to produce the best quality automotive 

glass. Along with CNC cutting 

machine from Intermac, BSG also 

installed a CNC work station from the 

same company. 

BSG Managing Director Tulsi 

Ram Bhalotia is known as very a 

caring and down-to-earth individual 

in the industry. Since long, he has 

taken utmost care of every employee 

of the company, treating them as 

family members. He provides them 

accommodation, food, all type of 

medical facility, among others. 

Even amid the crises posed by the 

COVID-19 pandemic, the company 

stood firmly with its employees, as a

meant technicians and installation 

executives were unavailable. But Mr 

Verma intervened to prevent any delay 

and himself guided the installation 

process of all new machinery without 

any trouble. 

BSG’s product portfolio includes 

fused glass, decorative glass and

glass tempering furnace was warmly 

welcomed by the market once it was 

promoted in 2012. The mid-infrared 

heating technology rapidly became the 

best solution for high quality Low-E 

glass tempering. 

Jinglass in India 

Jinglass entered the Indian market in 

2015 and gained the confidence from 

more and more clients in the country. 

At present, more than 30 furnaces 

from the company are running 

steadily and reliably in here. 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, 

conduct of business became difficult 

in India due to the lockdowns. In the 

Indian flat glass market, maximum 

machinery is imported from China. 

And since international travel is 

prohibited because of the lockdown, 

installation of machinery became a 

huge problem. 

But not for Jinglass. The company 

has a team in India which provides 

professional installation, adjustment 

and after-sales service of tempering 

furnace to ensure their long-term 

stable running. 

This was an advantage Jinglass had. 

It has installed a record 14 furnaces 

since January 2020 in comparison 

with any other international 

toughened plant machinery supplier. 

Jinglass won the trust and 

confidence of the Indian glass 

processing industry within a very 

short span of time by supplying best 

quality machines and giving worldclass 

after-sales and service support to 

its customers. 

About the company 

Jinglass Technology Co. Ltd. is a 

high-tech enterprise specialised in 

the development, manufacturing and 

marketing of glass tempering furnaces 

since 2003.

WERU & LiSEC: Decades 

of success based on deep 

trust 

A History Rich In Experience, Sustainable 

Thinking & Attitude Of Never Being Satisfied With 

Standards Achieved 

WERU, a traditional German company that started out as 

a carpenter’s workshop, is the oldest window production 

factory in the country. The WERU GROUP’s more than 

1,000 employees produce over 400,000 sashes and 

around 10,000 front doors every year. 

Behind WERU’s success 

lies a history that is rich in 

experience, sustainable thinking 

and the attitude of never being 

satisfied with the standards achieved. 

WERU performs continuous quality 

assurance from production to 

installation, certified by the RAL 

Quality Mark. Production takes place 

at the three German locations in 

Rudersberg (Baden-Württemberg), 

Triptis (Thuringia) and Salmtal 

(Rhineland-Palatinate). 

WERU quality made exclusively in 

Germany 

WERU GmbH is one of Europe’s 

leading manufacturers of windows 

and front doors and can reflect back 

on a success story of over 175 years. 

WERU was founded in 1843 and 

the product portfolio was expanded 

through the merger with UNILUX 

GmbH in 2014, to include wood and 

wood-aluminium products and create 

a comprehensive full range. 

Behind the success of the 


LiSEC • 2 

companies lies a history that is rich in 

experience, sustainable thinking and 

the attitude of never being satisfied 

with the standards achieved. Today, 

the WERU Group positions itself 

as a future-oriented company that 

demands maximum individuality. 

Modern windows, large lift-slide 

combinations, front doors in all 

material variants bring dynamics to 

the home and in doing so enrich both 

the façade as well as personal life. 

WERU & LiSEC 

WERU distinctly positions itself as a 

complete solution provider. True to 

the motto: Everything from a single 

source. With LiSEC as a long-standing 

business partner, the decision was 

made in favour of a company with the 

same objective. 

The cooperation between WERU 

and LiSEC began when WERU 

started to manufacture insulating 

glass. At that time (and still today), 

LiSEC was the only company on the 

market to offer complete systems, 

from glass cutting to logistics, 

including its own LiSEC software. 

“Business is always conducted 

between people. When two 

strong brands come together for a 

joint project, this means mutual 

professional planning and concept 

design, clean implementation by 

both parties, and the pleasure of 

being successful together,” said 

Clemens Macarei, head of Product 

Management at LiSEC and point of 

contact for WERU for decades. 

Trust as the basis for purchasing 

decisions: WERU continues to invest 

in LiSEC systems 

In 2020, a new high-performance 

machine for automatic laminated 

glass cutting was put into operation: 

the VSL-A. Following WERU’s 

decision to invest further in the 

laminated safety glass (LSG) sector, 

the decision was very quickly made 

in favour of a LiSEC system. The 

purchase was made directly at the 

trade fair. 

“Data, facts and figures were very 

important to us, in particular the 

issue of material savings and how 

the system adds up, in other words 

the profitability. The confidence that 

the machine would be a success was 

very high, thanks to our experience of 

outstanding cooperation with LiSEC 

in the past,” says Jens Reimann. 

VSL-A: High-performance system for 

automatic laminated glass cutting 

The VSL-A combines state-of-the-art 

laminated glass cutting technology 

and decades of LiSEC know-how in 

automatic laminated glass processing. 

Depending on the optimisation, up to 

30 per cent higher cutting capacities 

are possible. Automatic rotation of 

the sub-plates is part of the standard 

equipment, as is automatic residual 

cut disposal, and reduces operator 

intervention to a minimum. In 

addition, two cutting heads ensure an 

automatic tool change. 

WERU places great value on 

sustainability 

The topic of sustainability is very 

important to WERU. The traditional 

company focuses on sustainable 

production and material processes, 

as well as smart, future-oriented 

products. Not only when it comes to 

glass, but across the entire production 

process. The VSL-A supports this 

by reducing glass consumption. On 

average, 6 % glass consumption can 

be saved by the VSL-A. 

Future prospects: Mutual further 

development of LiSEC & WERU to 

continue 

“Our cooperation with WERU is 

characterised by a strong sense of 

partnership. Both companies benefit 

from the advantages of the other and 

further develop together,” says Markus 

Ensafi, LiSEC Sales Manager. 

About LiSEC 

LiSEC, with headquarters in 

Hausmening/Amstetten, is a globally 

operating group, and has been offering 

individual and complete solutions in 

the field of flat glass processing and 

finishing for 60 years. The service 

portfolio comprises machines,

Şişecam reported investments of 

TRY 838 million in first half of 2021 

Company’s Net Sales Have Reached TRY 13 Billion In The First Half Of 

The Year 

International sales accounted for 64 per cent of Şişecam’s total sales during this period. 

Capital expenditures were recorded at TRY 838 million and exports reached USD 327 

million in the first half of the year. 

A 

global player in the glass and 

chemicals industries with 

production activities spanning 

14 countries in four continents and 

with sales to more than 150 countries, 

Şişecam reported consolidated net 

sales of TRY 13 billion for the six 

months ending June 2021. 

Şişecam CEO Görkem Elverici 

commented on the company’s 

results: “Despite the climate of 

uncertainty caused by the pandemic, 

Şişecam delivered a strong financial 

performance in the first half of the 

year, exceeding its performance in the 

same period of the previous year.” 

“Şişecam continued to create value 

for its stakeholders with its proactive 

decisions and practices that generate 

value for its entire ecosystem. In the 

coming period, we aim to continue 

moving forward toward our global 

goals. We plan to take the next steps 

on our sustainable growth journey 

with our transformation projects that 

will render Şişecam future-ready, 

our investment plans, and our robust 

governance capabilities,” Elverici said. 

Şişecam’s 2021 first half-year 

consolidated net sales grossed TRY 13 

billion and international sales of the 

company – comprising exports from 

Turkey and sales from non-Turkey 

facilities – accounted for 64 per cent 

of total revenue. 

In the first half of the year, 

Şişecam produced 2.7 million tons 

of glass, 1.2 million tons of soda, 

and 2.5 million tons of industrial 

raw materials. During this period, 

thanks to its proactive decisions and 

practices that generate value for its 

entire ecosystem, Şişecam achieved a 

strong half-year financial performance 

exceeding the same period of the 

previous year, the era just prior to and 

at the start of the pandemic. 

As evidenced by the solid results it 

recorded in the first half of the year, 

Şişecam once again demonstrated 

its strong corporate governance 

capabilities by achieving a financial 

performance that also exceeded 

the same period of 2019, the prepandemic 

period. 

Despite the climate of uncertainty 

caused by the pandemic, the 

company delivered a strong financial 

performance. 

In his statement on the financial 

results, Şişecam CEO Elverici 

indicated that the company created 

sustainable value for its entire 

ecosystem in the first half of 2021, a 

time when global pandemic-rooted 

extraordinary conditions sustained 

and in a climate marked by ongoing 

uncertainty. 

He added: “With consolidated 

net sales totalling TRY 13 billion in 

the first half of the year, we further 

contributed to the macro economy 

and the growth of anchor industries 

to which we provide input with 

our products, investments, and 

employment opportunities. Şişecam 

successfully reached its ambitious 

targets in the first half of the year 

thanks to its robust corporate 

governance capabilities and agile 

practices. Moreover, it delivered 

a strong financial performance, 

exceeding that of the previous 

year which coincided with the prepandemic 

period. Şişecam recorded 

financial success that surpassed 

not only the same period of the 

previous year but also the half-year 

results of 2019, which refers prior 

to the outbreak of the pandemic. 

We will continue to conduct our 

business activities by leveraging our 

robust competencies and agility. At 

Şişecam, we aim to create value for 

all our stakeholders by modifying 

our business processes and plans 

as needed in the coming period, for 

which the extent of the impact of the 

global pandemic remains uncertain.” 

Thanks to the company’s functionbased 

governance model, it will 

more effectively manage its business 

operations across four continents, the 

CEO said. 

In its 85th anniversary year, 

Şişecam made one of the most 

important decisions in its history: 

To merge all of its business activities 

under a single roof. 

Görkem Elverici stated the 

following about the transformation 

initiatives that Şişecam has designed 

to better prepare itself for the future: 

“We have successfully completed 

the merger process. This large-scale 

consolidation was a crucial turning 

point in terms of our long-term 

strategies and competitive targets 

in global markets. Immediately 

afterwards, we focused on 

implementing transformation projects 

aimed at creating a more integrated, 

digital, optimized, operationally 

efficient organizational structure and 

building Şişecam of the future.” 

“To this end, we made a strategic 

decision to introduce significant 

changes to our governance model. 

At Şişecam, different business fields 


Şişecam• 2 

– such as glass packaging, glassware 

and chemicals – were formerly 

managed independently within a 

field of activity-based organizational 

structure. Now, we have a functionbased 

organization and management 

approach,” he said. 

“As a result, we no longer manage 

our business processes on a business 

line-basis, but rather based on 

functions, such as Sales-Marketing 

or Production. I firmly believe that 

our new organizational structure 

will ensure more effective and agile 

management across our region of 

operation spanning four continents 

in various lines of business. The 

experience and competencies we have 

gained with a focus on product groups 

will further expand Şişecam domain 

of influence,” Elverici added. 

Reaping rewards of strategic 

decisions and best practices 

Elverici stated that Şişecam is 

currently reaping the rewards of its 

Mr. Görkem Elverici, CEO of Şişecam 

transformation efforts, digitalization 

practices, and strategic decisions 

during a time when business models 

have changed profoundly due to the 

global pandemic. 

He elaborated: “As a result of the 

challenges accompanying it, the global 

pandemic offered organizations an 

opportunity to test their decisions 

and practices and revamp their 

structure to align with the new 

market conditions. During this period, 

Şişecam also had the opportunity 

to test once again its readiness for 

the unanticipated developments, its 

ability to make fast decisions, and 

adaptability skills.” 

“The successful projects and 

competencies we developed on 

our digitalization journey played a 

critical role in managing this process 

effectively. In addition, our strategic 

positioning with respect to our 

production activities spread across 14 

countries on four continents enabled 

us to navigate the negative effects 

of the disrupted global supply chain 

much more easily. In the coming 

period, we plan to further boost the 

economic value we generate and 

our global competitive edge with 

investments and projects that will 

prepare Şişecam for the future,” the 

CEO said. 

Creating value for stakeholders with 

new investments 

Şişecam, the founder of the Turkish 

glass industry and a global pioneer, 

remains committed to making 

uninterrupted investments that will 

create value for all of its stakeholders 

and supporting the growth of the 

industries to which it provides input. 

Elverici added: “Despite 

the climate of uncertainty and 

extraordinary conditions created by 

the global pandemic, we continued 

our investments without interruption 

in line with our priority to meet our 

customers’ glass demand and to 

create value for the economies.” 

“In the coming period, we aim 

to create sustainable value for 

our stakeholders while expanding 

Şişecam’s global footprint with 

strategic moves we will make in 

the right areas by continuing our 

investments with the same approach. 

As part of these efforts, we announced 

that start of our first European 

facility investment in glass packaging 

industry, in Hungary,” he said. 

“We expect this greenfield facility 

investment with a capacity of 330,000 

tons to be online 2023 and to reach 

its full capacity by the year-end 

2025. Capital expenditures focusing 

on increasing our existing 2 million 

ton flat glass production capacity 

in Turkey by 25 percent are also 

underway. We expect to achieve this 

goal by both improving our existing 

lines and investing in two new float 

lines,” the CEO added.

ISRA VISION begins construction 

of new HQ 

Company Marks Dawn Of New Era With Traditional Ground-Breaking 

Ceremony In Darmstadt, Germany 

More than three decades ago, ISRA VISION was founded as a spin-off of TU Darmstadt 

and developed into a world-leading machine vision technology company in the 

subsequent years. 

The founder and CEO of ISRA 

VISION, Enis Ersü, stepped 

back from active professional 

life at the end of June 2021. As 

part of the company’s succession 

planning, ISRA VISION entered into a 

strategic partnership with the Swedish 

industrial group Atlas Copco, forming 

the heart of the new Machine Vision 

Solutions division. With a strong new 

management team, the foundations 

are now being laid for the successful 

future development of the company. 

ISRA VISION AG is marking the 

dawn of a new era of growth with a 

traditional ground-breaking ceremony 

to mark the start of construction 

of its new headquarters building in 

Darmstadt, Germany. 

The new headquarters is located on 

a property measuring around 15,000 

square metres in the city’s “Knell” 

development district with its historic 

water tower at Frankfurter Straße. Set 

to be constructed in two stages, it will 

consist of three connected buildings 

housing offices and development 

laboratories, as well as demonstration 

and assembly halls. 

The project was designed by the 

local architecture firm fs Architekten. 

It will give ISRA VISION the space 

it needs for future development 

and a constantly growing workforce. 

Designed to the latest energy 

standards, the building will grow over 

time and will offer space for around 

960 employees once fully constructed. 

As construction begins, the 

company owes special thanks to 

the mayor of Darmstadt Jochen 

Partsch and the city of Darmstadt, 

who provided excellent support in 

the search for a suitable location. 

The plans for the new headquarters 

were put in place several years ago 

by company founder Enis Ersü, 

who recently retired from active 

professional life. 

In 2020, the globally active Atlas 

Copco group joined forces with ISRA 

VISION as a strategic partner, while 

also remaining committed to the 

plans for the new headquarters. The

Architekten in Darmstadt and Horst 

Ulrich Werb on behalf of Schindler 

& Werb AG, allowing the foundation 

stone of the new building to be placed 

together with the planners and 

tradespeople involved in the project. 

ISRA VISION’s new chairman of 

the Executive Management Team, 

Tomas Lundin, was joined for the 

ceremony by company founder Enis 

Ersü, Chief Financial Officer Martin 

Heinrich and Mayor of Darmstadt 

Jochen Partsch. 

The start of construction of the 

new headquarters represents not only 

the beginning of a new chapter in the 

company’s history, but is also a sign 

of its dedication to the city and the 

local area. ISRA VISION was formed 

in 1985 as a spin-off of the Technical 

University of Darmstadt. Together 

with its subsidiaries, ISRA VISION AG 

has grown to become the world leader 

in surface inspection of web materials. 

It is also one of the world’s leading 

providers of image processing 

(machine vision), specializing in 3D 

machine vision, especially for 3D robot 

vision. With its new strategic partner 

Atlas Copco, the ambitious company 

has big plans. The ground-breaking 

ceremony is therefore also the start of 

a promising and successful future.

" 

Born in 1950, Mr Kang did his matriculation in 1966 from Ropar (now a district of 

Punjab). After completing his post-graduation in 1974, he first joined Bhambra 

Management Board in audit section. 

His experience of corporate costing, budgeting and planning logistic changed his way 

of working and taught him how to take quick decisions based on facts and figures. 

Customer service and punctuality have always held top priority for Mr Kang. He 

always planned in advance to meet new challenges. Under him, J K International 

adopted new practices. It defined everything, measured every progress. 

He won the Glass Bulletin ‘Best Glass Processor Award’ in 2018. Mr Kang has worked

a small safety glass business, Sunfex 

Glass Works, which started producing 

PVC laminated safety glasses in 

Hoshiarpur. This made his presence 

felt in bus body glass. Back then, his 

wife, Mrs Jaspal Kaur, used to look 

after the business. Mr Kang used to 

help her during mornings, evenings 

and on holidays and Sundays. 

In 1996, he set up a new 

partnership firm in the name of J K 

Toughened Glass in Jalandhar city. For 

two years, he used to attend office at 

J K Toughened after his workday at 

Mahavir was over. In 1998, he decided 

to take premature retirement from 

Mahavir Spinning Mills Hoshiarpur to 

focus on his new venture. 

Ms. Manpreet Kang, 

CEO of JK international

J K Toughened got a fabricated 

horizontal bend glass machine for 

making toughened bend glass. Soon, 

the company made its presence felt in 

good quality display counter glass. 

In 2004, Mr Kang and his 

partner decided to further expand 

and established J K International 

in Himachal Pradesh. Here it had 

two vertical plants to make flat or 

bend glass for bus body application. 

In 2007, the company established 

horizontal toughened flat and bend 

glass and replaced the vertical plant. 

In 2012, the company expanded 

further and imported laminated 

glass machinery from LWDY for J K 

Toughened Glass Jalandhar. Then 

in 2014, Mr Kang and his partner 

decided to part ways after 18 long 

years of partnership. The Jalandhar 

business, J K Toughened Glass, went 

to his partner, while J K International 

went to Mr Kang. 

Customer service and punctuality 

have always held top priority for Mr 

Kang. He always planned in advance 

to meet new challenges. Under 

him, J K International adopted new 

practices. It defined everything,

HEGLA is showing the ProLam LSR, a newly developed cutting system for LSG equipped for the first time with the time-saving laser diode heating 

technology as a system in series production. Up to 20 per cent and more productivity can be achieved with the new technology. 

Demanding pane composites with up to ten-ply interlayer can be 

separated in a short cycle time with the new laser diode heating 

system. The precise application of heat to the cut contour means 

that the surrounding area virtually remains cold, preventing later 

delamination to the maximum extent possible. 

HEGLA at Milan’s Vitrum 

To Focus On Glass Cutting, Its Automation & 

Performance Increase 

HEGLA Group’s range of topics at Vitrum could scarcely be 

wider, but it is an example of just how diversely the glass 

industry has developed in recent years. 

Faster cutting, more information, 

perfect tempering 

On the one hand, the focus is 

on glass cutting, its automation and 

performance increase. Interested 

visitors gain insight into HEGLA’s 

mechanical engineering. On the other 

hand, the opportunities of networking, 

digitalisation and integrated processes 

will also be showcased, making it clear 

how important these issues currently 

are from the Group’s point of view.

HEGLA is showing the ProLam LSR, 

a newly developed cutting system for 

laminated safety glass equipped for 

the first time with the time-saving 

laser diode heating system as a 

machine in series production. 

“Productivity in LSG cutting can be 

increased by twenty per cent or more 

with the new heating process,” said 

HEGLA Managing Director Bernhard 

Hötger, emphasising one of the 

advantages of the new technology. 

The laser applies the bundled 

heating energy precisely to the cutting 

contour, reaching the PVB inerlayer’s 

transformation temperature much 

more quickly than the usual heating 

tubes. The laser beam weakens only

Once the surface-friendly marking has been applied by laser

Unique glass marking for digital

Individual glass marking, data capture 

and storage, and product tracking are 

the main focus at HEGLA boraident. 

In line with this, the mobile laser 

printing solution ESGuardM will be 

shown together with the UniColor 

laser printing process. 

Compared to CO2 laser marking, 

this technology leaves the surface

slightly as it passes through the 

interlayer, so that even demanding 

glass laminates of up to ten-ply 

interlayer can be separated with 

shorter processing times. 

The new process also has a positive 

effect on edge quality: the interlayer 

remains cold outside the cutting area, 

thus preventing later delamination 

and enabling additional cuts without 

cooling times. The system reduces 

energy costs as well. “The laser 

diode strip has a divided design,

With the HEGLA-HANIC Cockpit, performance-relevant 

information can be displayed and tracked. It gives employees 

more information and makes it easier for production managers to

Glass that’s as perfect as it gets – HEGLA-TaiFin’s claim regarding the performance of CTF 

furnaces could not be more passionate. This is why perfect flatness and optical quality are 

the hallmarks of these tempered panes. 

“Depending on the integration, the 

captured data on the product can be 

stored either in the ERP or another 

system. All it takes is one scan to 

retrieve the information, call up a fire 

protection certificate or reorder an 

identical product,” explained Head of 

Development Dr Thomas Rainer. As a 

rule, laser marking is integrated into 

operations step by step with the aims 

of triggering production steps through 

automatic scanning, simplifying 

shipping processes or tracing process 

steps from production and shipping to 

the construction site. “With marking 

and unique identification, it’s also 

possible to fully digitise and track 

production,” said Dr Rainer. 

Real-time tracking for the 

optimisation of integrated processes 

“Capturing processes in real time is 

also advantageous for higher-level 

software such as ERP, MES, waste 

optimisation and capacity planning,” 

said Dr Jan Schäpers, Managing 

Director of HEGLA-HANIC, the 

software specialists. 

The large amount of data 

collected by scanning and sensor 

technology can be used to analyse 

and optimise processes in depth. The 

display of information in a HEGLA- 

HANIC Cockpit helps to improve 

the employees’ overview and gives 

production managers an improved 

basis for decision-making. With 

appropriate integration into ERP and 

production planning software, many 

of these interventions take place 

automatically. 

For example, the continuous 

optimisation system continuously 

adjusts the cutting plans or rearranges 

the sequence of units at the 

processing steps according to current 

demand. 

For visitors who want to get a 

personal impression of HEGLA- 

HANIC’s solutions on site, the 

company will show demo views and 

test systems at Vitrum – systems 

featuring even better performance 

and usability on a new platform with 

inclusive updates. 

Perfect flatness and glass quality 

Tempered glass in perfect optical 

quality and flatness is the passion 

of HEGLA-TaiFin, the HEGLA 

Group subsidiary that will also be 

represented at the joint stand. With 

the CTFe, the company offers a 

unique tempering furnace in which 

the thermal heat is transferred by air 

circulation from closed convection 

boxes. The glass surface is never 

exposed to the direct radiation of the 

radiant heaters, so that both coated 

and uncoated glass can be finished 

with the highest optical properties. 

“The Viprotron and LiteSentry 

scanners, for example, consistently 

confirm the premium quality of the 

tempered glass with isotropy values 

above 95 per cent,” said Jarno 

Nieminen from HEGLA-TaiFin. 

While the CTFe is ideally suited for 

demanding facade glazing, the Finnish 

company is now introducing three 

new furnaces that have been specially 

designed to meet the requirements of 

insulating, interior or sanitary glass.

Technical Article 

Smart architectural glass – dynamic 

and multifunctional 

Let’s go back to that perfect scene in a high-tech apartment and examine the 

setting from a practical point of view. Smart architectural glass means dynamic, truly 

multifunctional glazing. 

The windows in such homes 

can adjust to outdoor 

conditions automatically 

or manually. Just one click of a 

smartphone button activates a 

reactive tint that restrains heat and 

glare. 

As a result – we get enhanced 

living comfort and energy savings 

without compromising the view. 

Complete protection from aggressive 

UV rays, insulation from the sounds 

of densely packed apartment 

buildings, plus assured safety and 

security – all these are included too. 

Emerging technologies, such as 

special nanocomposites applied 

during glass production, have turned 

this pleasant dream into established 

reality at an affordable price. 

Drivers pushing in favour of smart 

Remember, the technology for such 

a reality is already available. And 

as commercial prices of emerging 

innovations are dropping, regulations 

throughout the world are tightening, 

forcing action to be taken sooner to 

reduce energy consumption or even 

create energy. 

In California, there are state 

subsidies for products and buildings 

that use smart glass, whereas Europe 

adopted the Energy Performance of 

Buildings Directive (EPBD) in 2010. 

This EU directive requires all new 

buildings to be practically zero energy 

ones by the end of 2020. 

The next level up with BIPV glass 

Building-integrated photovoltaic 

(BIPV) glass, with controlled 

transparency, is just one example 

of emerging technologies in the 

architectural glazing industry that is 

especially relevant because of the new 

directive. 

Currently, buildings are responsible 

for around 36% of the EU’s CO2 

emissions. In the near future, 

however, they have the potential 

instead to supply some 30% of the 

EU’s energy demand. Therefore, 

switching to on-site solar energy 

generation integrated right into the 

window glass is one key to live up to 

this potential. 

While most standard solar cells 

use visible light to produce electricity, 

innovative alternatives do not have 

to steal precious ambient light. 


Glaston • 2 

Integrating the PV panes with a 

color-switching technology, such as 

electrochromics (EC), opens up a 

way to produce energy while still 

transmitting enough light, blocking the 

radiation or providing shading when 

necessary. 

Hello, Helio 

Today, ‘electrochromic glass’ is a 

synonym for ‘smart glass.’ And if the 

term may still sound new to someone, 

statistics prove that in a couple of 

years, most everyone will be aware of 

its benefits. 

Technically, EC glass is a composite 

of layers of glass and chemical 

materials that respond to light and 

heat, adjusting glass transparency 

when electrical voltage is applied – 

exactly what is required for dynamic 

architectural glazing or newgeneration 

BIPV. 

California-based Heliotrope 

Technologies is one company currently 

working on innovative nanocrystalbased 

glazing compositions to develop 

the technology several steps further. 

The main advantage of the 

Heliotrope NanoEC solution 

over others is substantially lower 

production costs, combined with 

unrivalled aesthetic qualities in 

terms of the glass colour and haze. In 

addition, heat and light transmissivity 

can be regulated more precisely and 

quickly. The result is a mass-market 

solution at a competitive price. 

Sustainable luxurious living 

When it comes to the possibilities of 

glass, breaking through limitations is 

only a question of imagination and 

time. Scientists, chemists, coating 

manufacturers, glass processors and 

technology suppliers are working 

together to push the boundaries to 

the max and furnish our homes with 

unseen comfort and a well-controlled 

amount of seen light. 

Entire towers with switchable glass 

will be able to control the temperature 

according to the weather or individual 

units can adjust to their residents’ 

preferences. Even an entire area of 

towers can be connected to each other 

– to create energy for their occupants 

and not only block the sunrays. 

In the US, the trend in many 

southern states is to dim the glass to 

block the heat of the sun and reduce 

the need for air conditioning. Europe 

is more concerned with the colour 

of the glass and how a building looks 

on both the inside and out. When a 

façade changes colours, it influences 

how a building looks and helps save 

energy. In any case, it is an ingenious 

way to eliminate curtains or blinds, as 

their impact is simply built into the 

glass itself. 

And no, this is not just another 

fancy upgrade or expensive consumer 

option, but an important move toward 

smarter and more environmentally 

conscious living.

Glass handling tips 

Mishandling Glass Can Lead To Injuries; Simple Safety Measures Can Help 

Avoid Untoward Incidents 

Glass handling accidents are quite frequent in India, making human safety a big concern 

for the glass industry, but the country still lacks proper guidelines and laws. 

Glass is a very fragile material 

if we talk about annelid glass. 

When annelid glass breaks, it 

breaks into very sharp-edged pieces 

which can seriously injure people and 

may even may cause death. 

Proper handling of glass is a very 

important part in any glass factory 

or warehouse. Nowadays, glass 

manufacturing companies are making 

jumbo size glasses. These are very 

heavy, and manual handling of big glass 

poses risks. 

The consequences for mishandling 

glass can include punctures, crush 

and strain injuries, severe cuts, 

amputations and even death. 

Observing proper glass handling 

techniques is a major aspect of safety 

in any workplace where large volumes 

of glass are handled daily. 

The cost of glass handling 

equipment is nothing compared to the 

value of a human life. There is a wide 

range of glass handling equipment 

available. It is a request to glass 

associations and government bodies 

to come together and frame proper 

guidelines for glass handling. 

Glass handling accidents can be 

minimised if glass companies ensure 

that every worker wears 

Helmet 

Upper arms and shoulder protection 

Gloves and cuffs’ 

Apron 

Safety footwear 

Owner of glass companies have 

to shell out a lot of compensation to 

workers who sustain injuries or face 

any causality during manual glass 

handling. 

Glass Safety Tips for Manufacturers 

and Commercial Glass Handling 

Glass is a fragile material with a 

plethora of applications in residential 

and commercial projects. The glass 

industry is growing with every 

passing day. More and more glass 

fabricators and glaziers are entering 

the market. 

However, handling glass in its 

primitive form is not a child’s play. 

Mishandling the glass sheets can 

result in severe cuts, injuries, 

and even death. We can avoid 

such accidents by following safety 

measures. The experts have stated 

strict precautionary rules for 

handling the glass. Here, we will 

discuss the safety tips when dealing 

with glass. 


Glass Handling Tips• 2 

Safety tips for employees 

In the glass industry, employees 

who are directly handling glass 

sheets are particularly vulnerable 

to accidents. So a few general rules 

and tips for workers: 

Glass carrying techniques 

Workers are often involved in loading 

and unloading glass sheets. Make 

sure to carry glass on your side. Use 

both hands to handle the glass sheet 

no matter how lightweight it is. It 

seems easy though, but never carry 

glass sheet under your arm or over 

your head. Always use two employees 

to move larger glass sheets. Don’t rush, 

move slowly and in harmony with the 

other person. 

Always wear safety gear before 

handling glass. Check the glass before 

moving it. Make sure that it isn’t 

damaged to avoid any spontaneous 

breakage. Use the proper hand and 

body positions to handle the glass. 

Keep the corners of the glass sheets 

safe by avoiding bumping into any 

surface. 

When setting the glass on the floor, 

gently place the long side of the glass 

first. Prefer placing the glass on soft 

or padded surfaces. You can also use 

blankets or other cushioning agents to 

keep the glass safe. 



Handling broken glass 

Broken glass is a common sight in 

the glass industry. Even with safety 

measures, it’s subjective that you 

would see some glass pieces on the 

floor. Therefore, it’s necessary that 

everyone who enters a glass unit has 

safety shoes on. Sometimes, small 

and almost invisible shards are on 

the floor that are enough to cause an 

injury. 

If you see broken glass, don’t stand 

or walk on it, even with safety shoes 

on. Never crush broken glass into 

smaller pieces with foot or hand. 

Don’t pick up broken glass with your 

hands. Never hold on to the broken 

glass sheet to try and stop it from 

breaking any further. Move out of the 

way and go to a safe space. 

Working with glass 

Working with glass is quite 

challenging. You have to follow 

multiple safety guidelines to keep 

yourself safe. Educate yourself with 

the safety protocols. Be mindful of the 

hazards all the time. Be aware of your 

surroundings and the team members 

all the time. Inspect each element for 

any potential hazard before using it. 

Keep the simple safety rules in mind 

and use them to avoid any undesirable 

situation. 

One of the most popular tasks 

is glass cutting. If you are handling 


Glass Handling Tips• 4 

orders of custom cut glass, mirror 

cut to size, glass shelves cut to size, 

or tempered glass cut to size, make 

sure to use safety goggles and gloves. 

Creating custom cut glass is trickier 

than any other job so make sure 

to take necessary precautionary 

measures. The manufacturing process 

of tempered glass cut to size is also 

quite extensive and grave, so be 

conscious of the risks. 

Glass goes through different 

manufacturing steps to achieve the 

custom cut. Different chemicals are 

also used during the process, some 

of which can be toxic. Handling such 

chemicals requires special care that 

everyone should take. 

Handling undesirable situations 

Even if the work environment is 

ideal and everyone is following safety 

protocols, accidents may happen. The 

possibility of human error is always 

there. But managing an undesirable 

situation is what makes all the 

difference! 

Ideally, there should be a doctor or a paramedic’s team on duty all the time 

who can handle any such situation. Workers should also be trained for providing 

first-aid to their fellow colleagues. 

In case of an accident, take the victim to a safe place. Immediately call a 

doctor, get help from the related personnel, and give him the necessary first-aid. 

Using safety equipment 

Special safety gear is designed for 

glass industry workers according to 

their job specifications. The glass 

handlers usually use cut-resistant 

gloves, sleeves, and aprons while 

the glass moulders use heatresistant 

safety equipment. 

Make sure to wear proper safety 

equipment. Replace any damaged 

safety. 

Prevention is better than cure 

so never twirl thumbs on wearing 

the safety equipment. Supervisors 

should direct strict orders for 

workers to put on safety gear. 

They should ensure that safety 

gear is functional and the work 

environment is safe for workers. 

In brief! 

It’s the duty of the supervisors and directors to educate their staff on risks 

and safety measures. Workers should receive proper training before getting 

into the working field. Make sure to meet safety protocols. It’s better to be 

safe than sorry!

Mr. Dev Chandwani, 

Business Development Director (India) 

Deceuninck Profiles India Pvt. Ltd. 

ZenFold: New 

generation slide 

& swing doors by 

Deceuninck 

A Versatile System Designed With The Modern 

Home And Business In Mind 

Doors and windows connect the occupants to the outside 

world. Bigger the door, better the natural ventilation and 

lighting, which is the need of the hour with the ongoing 

pandemic and the resulting work from home culture. 


Product Hunt 

Deceuninck, one of the leading 

producers of uPVC profiles for 

doors and windows, has come 

up with a unique slide and swing 

doors system, ‘ZenFold’, in the Indian 

market. 

The swing and slide doors which is 

also known as wave doors/open max/ 

magna-slide systems are like bi-fold 

doors, but each shutter can slide inline 

with the frame. This saves a lot of 

space and adds novelty to the door. 

ZenFold is a state-of-the-art 

multiple panel door that allows 

owners to maximize their living space 

and transforms ordinary rooms to 

open up spaces in a way no other 

‘patio’ door can do. 

Designed with the modern home 

and business in mind, the new 

generation Slide & Swing system is a 

versatile system that works perfectly 

for your home, office and restaurants. 

Big open spaces are accentuated with 

the Slide & Swing - A door for all uses. 

Its hingeless system with freefloating 

panels allows users to control 

the opening to fit their needs. All 

constraints inherent to the “hinged” 

systems have been stripped away. 

Since it does not have panel-to-panel 

hinges, you choose how your door 

opens. 

With Zenfold, users get to decide 

how many panels are opened or closed 

at any a time. By having independent 

panels, this latest system adapts to 

any need for opening or ventilation. 

Generally, the height of the doors is 

restricted by the roof height which is 

around 3m to 3.5m in India, of which 

the door height is normally between 

2.1m to 2.4m. 

In order to increase ventilation, 

the only option to achieve maximum 

opening is to go wide. There are many 

options for these kind of openings – 

;; 

Multi-Track Slider: 2 to 6 

shutters or more with 33% to 

50% opening 

;; 

Casement Doors: Generally, 

width is limited to 900mm with 

double shutter 1800mm. For 

bigger openings, one would 

need mullions 

;; 

Lift and Slide Doors: High 

performance doors with single 

shutter size of 6sqm. Offers 

superior air and water tightness 

;; 

Bi-Fold Doors: Casement 

Doors with shutters sliding and 

folding to one or either side of 

the opening. Very useful as it 

offers excellent ventilation and 

utility for balconies and patios 

;; 

ZenFold: Like Bi-Fold with the 

shutters sliding inline with the 

frame. This enables usage of 

the space in front of it. Only 

the traffic door area needs to be 

kept free 

Zenfold is based on time-tested 

70mm Zendow system with a 5 

Chamber system which offers 

an excellent sound and thermal 

insulation. This new age system 

ranks high on energy efficiency as the 

profiles are EPD certified with Low 

heat transmission coefficient as Uf 

value is 1.3 W/m2K. The system is 

designed for wind resistance as per IS 


Deceuninck• 3 

875-Part 3 and comes in both inward 

& outward opening options. 

The shutter size can be up to 

900mm X 2,100mm and can be used 

to make windows too with 1,200mm 

height. The profile comes with TPE 

weldable gaskets for superior air and 

water tightness. Glass thickness can 

be up to 44mm with either double 

or triple glazing options and it comes 

with a GI Galvanized reinforcement 

for ensuring structural strength. The 

bottom rail is aluminium and the 

slides of the system are made of nylon. 

It has more surface contact and nopoint 

contact like wheels in the railing 

making it more durable and easily 

operable. 

The system uses a unique hardware 

that can convert standard windows 

and doors into swing and slide system. 

There are no limitations to the width 

as we can add multiple panels to it. 

Providing us with an uninterrupted 

panoramic view of the outdoors 

with minimal partitions, ZenFold 

also has invisible hardware on the 

sliding shutters with the concealed 

hinges on the traffic door. The doors 

interlock together creating a solid wall 

that is extremely secure and it has 

Interlocking panels with Multi-point 

Locking system. 

Deceuninck is one of the few 

suppliers with a strong focus on 

high performance doors and colour 

profiles. The company offers a wide 

variety of colour lamination profiles 

for the slide and swing windows and 

doors. 

ZenFold allows seamless integration 

of your outdoors with your indoors 

and it is ideal for balconies, patios, 

terrace gardens, etc. 

The high performing and best 

in class windows and doors of 

Deceuninck Profiles have made 

a mark in the retail segment. 

Established in 1937, Deceuninck 

completed 80 years of sustained 

growth in the industry in 2017. With 

its 14 production and 22 warehouse 

facilities spread across the world. 

India and Thailand are two gateways 

to Asia for the Deceuninck group and 

its growing strong in these markets 

too. 

In India, Deceuninck has set two 

warehouses with stocking capacity up 

to 1,000 tonnes of profiles and custom 

hardware in addition to special 

reinforcements for high performance 

doors. 

Deceuninck was the first to test its 

sliding systems at Win wall, Chennai 

for high wind pressures – 2.4 KPa 

proof load. To step up its technical 

supremacy, Deceuninck has set up 

in-house testing facility to ensure 

customers can check their windows 

and doors so that they can confidently 

offer the right systems for projects.

Insulation, Multi-Lock System 

Bansal explains the advantages of uPVC and why it is in great demand, noting that with 

the increase in consumer aspirations, premium quality products have achieved higher and 

faster market penetration. 

What kind of doors and 

windows have the best 

market potential in 

India? 

There is a great demand for 

windows and doors that need lower 

maintenance and are made of energysaving, 

efficient materials. Beyond 

aesthetics, windows are expected to 

perform other functions including 

optimizing day-lighting, & energy 

conservation. 

With the increase in consumer 

aspirations, premium quality products 

have achieved a higher and faster 

market penetration globally. To 

comply with the modern construction, 

Window Magic offers a variety 

of fenestration solutions which 

include customized, innovative, and 

engineered products. 

Our uPVC windows and doors 

come with several benefits like sound 

insulation, multi-lock system, smooth 

functioning, etc. These utilities play 

a vital role in fulfilling the required 

essentials of a modern building 

effectively and efficiently. 

– What is the uniqueness of 

Window Magic doors and 

windows? 

Window Magic offers uPVC 

windows and doors which are the 

most advanced offerings in the 

construction segment. uPVC stands 

for unplasticised polyvinyl chloride. 

This material is a chemical compound 

consisting of carbon, chlorine, and 

hydrogen. 

uPVC is very much economical 

and easy to produce as compared to 

timber. The material is eco-friendly 

and results in preventing deforestation 

by reducing the use of wood and 

timber for producing windows and 

doors. Our products are energy 

efficient, potentially saving energy up 

to 25 per cent to 30 per cent. 

To serve the smart cities in the best 

possible way, Window Magic, with 

the innovative and latest German 

technology, brings out the finest 

customized fenestration solutions as 

per the environment and in tune with 

the customer’s needs. 

– Could you shed some light on the 

market share? 

The fenestration market is growing 

rapidly due to the rising awareness 

amongst builders and consumers. As 

per the Indian uPVC market report, 

the next 10-15 years will see an 

estimated 30 per cent growth in the 

segment, also, the uPVC segment is 

expected to contribute around 10-12 

per cent to the doors and windows 

industry. 

The Indian fenestration industry 

has undergone quite a remarkable 

transformation due to the introduction 

of several newer technologies. As per 

the current report, the Indian uPVC 

windows market is expected to grow 

at a CAGR of 7 per cent, to reach over 

INR 17,000 crore by FY-2020 in terms 

of revenues. 

– Can you cite an example where 

Window Magic’s products have 

been used? 

Designer windows and doors play a 

significant role in aesthetics, design, 

and energy performance of any 

building. Window Magic’s product has 

been used in many sectors including 

residential projects and institutions 

like schools and colleges. Also, it has
