New production line at Bor glass plant

AGC Bor Glass Factory (BSZ) has launched the production of large-sized and curved windshields for buses, trucks, agricultural machinery and trains. The company has invested in the launch of a new line € 5.5 million. Now BSZ supplies this type of glass to a subsidiary of the German manufacturer of agricultural machinery Claas in Krasnodar. In the future, the Bor glass plant plans to send large-sized glass to Germany. Market participants believe that now BSZ has a chance to compete with current suppliers of similar products to both Russian and foreign enterprises.

AGC Bor Glass Factory (BSZ) from 2019 to January 2021 invested € 5.5 million in the launch of a new production line for the production of large and complex geometry (curved) windshield. The new products are intended for buses, trucks, agricultural machinery and trains. The first consumer of glass was the Krasnodar plant "Claas" (a subsidiary of the German manufacturer of agricultural machinery Claas), which produces Tucano combines.

The development of the project for the new line began in 2018. The company has developed a project, purchased and installed new equipment. Since March 2019, BSZ has started to implement the project. The cooperation agreement between Klaas LLC and BSZ was signed in December 2019. In August 2020, the first batch of glazing elements arrived at the Krasnodar plant. By December 2020, after tests, the serial delivery of glass began. Now all Tucano combine harvesters manufactured by Claas are equipped with BSZ glass. During the implementation of the project, the Krasnodar plant increased the plan for the production of harvesters by 40%.
