The new sputtering coating line will be a fully automated system designed to apply ultra-thin, high-precision functional coatings to glass surfaces. Production is scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2027. The investment, valued at PLN 160 million, is expected to create over 30 new jobs in the region.

These advanced coatings enhance glass with specific properties such as improved energy efficiency and optimized light transmission. The new line will enable Pilkington Polska to produce a broad portfolio of high-performance glass products, including energy-saving low-emissivity glass, meeting the growing demand for sustainable building solutions in Poland and across Europe.

"The market is evolving rapidly, and demand for high value-added glass is increasing both domestically and throughout Europe. This new coating line is our strategic response to these trends. It will not only expand our production capacity but also introduce cutting-edge technologies that support energy efficiency and sustainable development," said Krzysztof Granicki, Managing Director – East, Nordic & Central Downstream Europe, Architectural Glass SBU, NSG Group.

The Sandomierz plant, one of NSG Group’s key global manufacturing sites, offers an ideal location for this investment thanks to its robust technological infrastructure, skilled workforce, and advantageous logistics. This initiative represents not only a technological leap forward but also a significant contribution to the local economy through job creation.

This investment aligns with NSG Group’s medium-term plan, "2030 Vision: Shift the Phase", which is driven by the "4D" strategies, including "Business Development" and "Decarbonization." The decision reflects NSG Group’s commitment to expanding its presence in high-value segments that contribute to the sustainable development of society.
