About the brand ❤️
Pilkington Group Limited is a historic British glass manufacturer and one of the leading suppliers of architectural and automotive glass worldwide. Founded in 1826 in St Helens, Lancashire, it grew to prominence through innovations such as the float glass process — a revolutionary method for producing high‑quality flat glass that became the global industry standard. Pilkington’s products include flat glass for buildings, energy‑efficient glazing, automotive windshields, and specialized technical glass, serving original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket sectors. In 2006 the company was acquired by Japan’s NSG Group (Nippon Sheet Glass), under which the Pilkington brand is retained and continues to develop glass technologies and sustainable solutions for modern construction, automotive safety, and energy performance markets. Its long history and technical legacy make Pilkington a recognized name in glass manufacturing.
