A UK’ First for Glass Tempering Furnace
»»Westcountry Glass,
part of the Cornwall Glass Group,
recently purchased its first piece of
major processing machinery for
its new factory in Plymouth. The
toughening plant from Lambert GT
Services Limited is the first type of
this specific toughening plant series
in the UK and it also makes it the
largest in the South West, enabling
their toughened glass capabilities to
be up to 2850mm x 4200mm.
Lambert GT Services Limited,
who is supplying and installing
the new toughening furnace, has

bought a wealth of experience
and expertise. The AG-Series
Gapless Forced Convection Glass
Tempering Furnace is the first
state-of-the-art toughening plant
to be installed in this country.
Peter Lambert from Lambert
GT Services Limited has been
associated with manufacturing
tempering systems for more than
30 years and designing his own
machines for over 20 years.
Peter comments:“Northglass
already has installations in most
of the major glass companies in

Europe. Now, with the Cornwall
Glass Group added to that list of
high profile customers, so does
the UK. Lambert GT Services are
extremely pleased to be associated
with Cornwall Glass on this
project”
Mark Norcliffe, a Company
Director of the Cornwall Glass
Group who is overseeing project
comments: “This new machine
will complement our three
current furnaces and open up
so many new opportunities
for Westcountry Glass and the

Branch Network of Cornwall
Glass. The Team at Westcountry
Glass are very excited with the
prospect of being able to produce
toughened glass for both single
and IGUs to the new maximum
sizes.”
This significant investment by
Westcountry Glass is the first of
the new machinery being ordered
for its new factory in Plymouth
over the next month.
