Glass Processing”

THE FIRST PORT OF CALL
FOR GLASS FINISHING
At sedak GmbH & Co.KG in Gersthofen
(Bavaria), approximately 150 employees
are processing glass into high-quality and
unique oversized insulating and safety glasses.
Everything is premium in Gersthofen: the
employees, the machinery and, of course,
the delivered quality. sedak masters the art of
making large-format dreams made of glass
come true and enables an exciting architecture,
exceptional designs and visionary buildings.
“There is no such word as ‘impossible’ in our
dictionary,” is a popular saying in the sedak
halls – not unusual if you are committed to
your claim “leading glass”.
PRINCIPLE OF SUCCESS: AHEAD OF
TIME, CLOSE TO THE CUSTOMER
Large-format insulating and safety glasses
are on the rise. sedak is also aware of this fact
and this is why the company is systematically
investing in order to secure and expand its
niche position. Thus, the company put the
largest digital printer for ceramic colours into
operation in 2014.
