Premium Decorative Glass Solutions for Switzerland

Market Development History

In the mid-20th century, the Swiss market relied heavily on traditional plate glass. The introduction of the float process revolutionized the industry, allowing for the mass production of float window glass with unprecedented flatness and optical clarity, meeting the strict requirements of Swiss watchmaking and precision labs.

By the 1990s, the focus shifted toward safety and acoustics. The integration of tempered and laminated processes allowed float glass to be used in larger structural facades, reducing the need for heavy frames and enhancing the "invisible" aesthetic preferred by Swiss modernists.

In the last decade, the transition toward "Smart Glass" began. The industry moved from simple coloring to functional coatings, where decorative elements are now integrated into the glass matrix to provide solar control without compromising the natural light of the Alpine landscape.
