On 13 April 2021, a delegation from Times China Holdings visited the Sichuan production base of Xionggang Glass to assess fabrication capabilities for a strategic partnership.
The facility spans 70,000 m² and processes more than 3.5 million m² of glass annually. Its product range includes high-strength monolithic non-insulating fire-rated glass, laminated non-insulating fire-rated glass, Low-E insulating glass units (IGUs), laminated glass, ceramic frit glass, curved tempered glass, and photovoltaic glass.
The tour covered the raw-glass storage area through to cutting, edging, drilling, tempering, curving, ceramic frit printing, laminating, and IGU assembly. The group reviewed the dedicated fire-rated glass line in detail.
Key equipment on site includes two laminating lines; five fully automatic cutting lines; eight automatic edging lines; automatic drilling equipment; four tempering furnaces capable of processing clear glass, ultra-clear glass, coated glass, Low-E glass, fire-rated glass, and borosilicate 4.0 fire-rated glass; and six automatic IGU lines.
Discussions focused on market direction, product specifications, and consensus around building energy efficiency and fire-resistant glazing. The site visit concluded with agreement to advance the strategic cooperation framework.
