Düzce Cam and HORN Glass Industries have marked a major milestone with the stone-laying ceremony for a new 800 tpd float glass plant in Bilecik, Türkiye.

With more than 30 years of experience, Düzce Cam Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş., based in Düzce, Türkiye, is one of the established manufacturers in the Turkish float glass industry. The company combines long-standing expertise with modern production technology, high quality standards and reliable glass manufacturing.

At the end of 2022, HORN Glass Industries AG was commissioned by Düzce Cam to supply essential plant components for the hot end of a new float glass plant with a production capacity of 800 tons per day to be established in Bilecik, Türkiye. The scope of supply includes the glass melting furnace, the tin bath, the annealing lehr, a hot end automation system and the protective gas station.
