Saint-Gobain Glass said the investment will secure the long term supply of consistently high-quality, high-performance glass for the window and door market and wider construction sector in the UK.
Due to be completed by the late summer, the installation of the enlarged capacity furnace will replace the existing furnace that has reached the end of its design life.
The firm said the new furnace will use less energy and will help it to optimise manufacturing efficiency, increase production capacity, and enhance Saint-Gobain’s market-leading environmental and sustainability credentials.
Steve Severs, managing director at Saint-Gobain Glass, said: “This is a major milestone in the history of our business.

Saint-Gobain Glass invested $41.5 million in its UK glass plant, located in Eggborough, East Yorkshire.
This represents the largest industrial investment in the UK by the Saint-Gobain Group since the Eggborough plant was built in 2000.
The complex engineering and construction program will see the complete re-build and installation of a state-of the-art float glass furnace. The upgrade will provide greater automation and enhanced control systems, with the use of the very latest equipment and integrated digital technologies, while minimising both the energy used for glass production and emissions from the process. The enlarged capacity furnace will replace the existing furnace which has reached the end of its design life, after manufacturing a ‘ribbon of glass’ long enough to stretch the length of the UK from Lands End to John O’Groats more than 130 times, say officials.
