Mission

Who We Are

Glass for Europe is the trade association for Europe’s flat glass sector.

Flat glass is the material that goes into a variety of end products, primarily in windows and facades for buildings, windscreens and windows for automotive and transport as well as solar energy equipment, furniture and appliances.

Glass for Europe brings together multinational firms and thousands of SMEs across Europe, to represent the whole building glass value-chain. It is composed of flat glass manufacturers, AGC Glass Europe, Guardian, NSG-Group and Saint-Gobain, and works in association with national partners gathering thousands of building glass processors and transformers all over Europe.
