KellGlass has just installed its first Glaston RC Series furnace last month. The company, located just north of Dublin, plans to use the furnace to add value for its customers in both the double-glazed glass and processing market. Patrick Kelly, owner and founder of KellGlass Limited, began thinking about purchasing a new tempering furnace about four years ago. He had run his existing plant for the last 16 years, technology had moved on, age was catching up – and a new furnace was needed. “We first looked at various makes of furnaces. I have known Glaston, earlier Tamglass, over the years. The company has a really good name,” Kelly says. “They are certainly at the upper end of the market. But when making an investment on that scale, we knew we wanted the best.”
