The combination of translucence and protection makes glass a very popular material in architecture. Rüdiger Göpferich, Managing Director of sitec.glas, identified this trend long ago and started with the production of SSG as far back as 1999. Today, the company based in Waghäusel, Baden in Germany, produces approx. 250,000 sqm glass per year. "There is still a great demand for single-lite safety glass, however, in the past few years, LSG has experienced a true renaissance", says the company's founder. For this reason, the company decided approximately two years ago to extend its product portfolio.

The plant on which the company sitec produces LSG comes from the Bystronic glass group. "The favourable price/performance ratio and the certainty of having purchased the latest machine on the market were convincing arguments." Visitors can admire the production of laminated safety glass lites up to a size of 2.60 x 6.00 meters in sitec's light-flooded halls with a total production area of 7,200 square meters. What is special about the LSG line from Bystronic glass is the high productivity of the plant: Starting from a highly-efficient provisional laminate, which very accurately places the glass plates on top of each other at high even assembly pressure, the heating zones with infrared radiators and convectors, up to 3,500 square meters of laminate safety glass are produced in every shift. The company's founder is particularly pleased that he could purchase all components from one supplier. "We have now worked with the LSG plant for about one and a half years, and we are still very satisfied.”
