Val Voznyi is an expert in glass and fabrication technologies. In this exclusive interview with GW-News he looks back at his personal takeaways from last year’s two major trade fairs: GlassBuild in the US and glasstec in Germany.
Using a laser printing process, Hegla boraident from Halle in Germany offers a solution for making window and facade glass visible to birds. At glasstec 2024, the company presented the BIRDfriend Mobile, a device that can be used to retrofit existing glass surfaces with protection against bird strike.
At glasstec 2024, Hegla presented a new sorting system for the first time, which enables the continuous provision of insulating glass units in the shipping sequence. The sorting solution also includes combined drying and sorting compartments for finished insulating glass units. Find out how the system works here.
In an innovative leap forward, Hegla introduces the IG2Pieces system, a cutting-edge solution designed to enhance the efficiency of insulating glass recycling. This system not only aligns with the growing demand for CO2 reduction but also offers substantial financial benefits to IG manufacturers by enabling the production of sorted glass shards for recycling.
Improving efficiency, saving resources and creating added value – at glasstec 2024, the Hegla Group is focusing on solutions that are designed to unlock the full potential of existing products.
At the Fensterbau Frontale trade fair in Nuremberg from 19 to 22 March, people are the focus for Hegla and Hegla boraident. The companies will be presenting solutions at their booth that make work easier for employees, provide a high level of safety, and improve efficiency.
With a symbolic ground-breaking ceremony, the starting signal was given for a major investment at Hegla. The company is building a new logistics centre at its site in Beverungen, which will combine the individual warehouses on 3000m².
Vitrum 2023 will open its doors from 5 to 8 September at the Fiera Milano Rho exhibition centre in Milan. Vitrum will also feature Hegla’s latest innovations for glass processing.
The Hegla Group is an international supplier of machine, automation and software solutions. We asked the company for an assessment of the current situation, recommendations for its customers, and what the production of the future will look like.
Three criteria characterise effective bird protection glass and make it a visible obstacle for birds. A look at the development process leading up to the current state of the art shows what these are.
The ongoing rise in the proportions of laminated safety glass used in glazed products is placing glass processors under increasingly tight constraints.
Electric vehicles are sometimes discussed very controversially among specialist tradesmen. But new EVs and e-transporters with a longer range as well as increasingly strict exhaust and noise regulations of the cities speak in favour of them. In an interview with Managing Director Marc-Alexander Stachel, we wanted to know about the current demand for electric vans at Hegla Fahrzeugbau. Here are his answers.
More than 32 trucks have been ordered to bring the Hegla machines and equipment to Düsseldorf for the glasstec 2022. Everything on the Hegla stand follows the motto "Creating added value together".
Peter Heyer will be leaving the company on 31 August 2022 after 36 years at Hegla, including 30 as head of after-sales services at Hegla Maintenance and Service. He will be succeeded by Thomas Schwabe.
In light commercial vehicles a trend towards electric mobility is emerging. With the tried and tested models of van now also available as EVs, Hegla has launched a new reefing system specifically designed for this application.
On 1 October 2021, the Hegla Group will open a subsidiary in Poland. Located in Wrocław, the branch office will allow the company to provide better service in Eastern Europe.
Hegla offers a compact storage system for glass panes. The individual storage positions mounted on rails, thus providing better access. See here what other features the system offers:
A number of Hegla employees have been honoured for decades of service and/or were given a send-off into retirement. Given the current situation the ceremonies were different, but no less heartfelt for all that:
Score, heat, break out, slit, and separate the film – this is the classical process used for LSG cutting. Despite all the advancements and digitalisation of recent years, it is still very time-consuming. But now there is another way:
The German Hegla Group has announced that it will expand its customer and service activities in the Asia/Pacific and MENA regions.
With the new V-H 150 seculift, Hegla and the Hegla New Technology innovation centre present a new generation of the V-H suction device for lifting, setting down and manipulating glass. See here in detail how it all works:
