Şişecam took an important step in its global growth strategy in the field of energy glasses. Şişecam, which has commissioned the frosted glass furnace and energy glass lines in Tarsus with a total investment of 200 million euros, aims to meet the increasing glass demand in the solar energy sector, reduce foreign dependency and increase its export potential with this move. This new line, built with modern technology and with an annual production capacity of 47 million square meters, will produce high quality glass with high permeability performance for photovoltaic panel manufacturers. The facility, which is planned to realize its first production on October 15, will provide additional employment to 426 people.

Speaking at the firing ceremony, Şişecam General Manager Can Yücel said: "The commissioning of our energy glass lines in our Tarsus production complex, which includes our flat glass, coated glass, energy glasses and sand preparation facilities, is not only the beginning of production; it is also a strong support to the energy sector in our country's economic independence journey, and an important indicator of our strong commitments in terms of sustainability and efficiency. This line, where we plan to carry out the first production on October 15 and provide employment for 426 people, has its capacity, technology and location." It will be the beginning of a new era in Şişecam's global journey in the field of energy glasses.”

Underlining that the most striking aspect of this investment is the advanced technology systems used in production processes, Yücel said, "While we provide lower energy consumption thanks to our high-capacity ovens, we take digitalization and efficiency to the highest level with automatic transportation vehicles and semi-automatic packaging systems. Our products, which will provide input to a wide market from Turkey to Europe and America, will make a difference with their features that increase energy efficiency."
