At the machine manufacturer HEGLA, based in Beverungen, Germany, the situation is showing signs of returning to normal following the coronavirus pandemic, supply chain problems with electronic parts and the sharp increase in supplier costs. Further growth is also on the cards. The company has geared up for the projected upswing with a multi-phase future strategy.

The amount of glass on buildings continues to increase: be it transparent facades and multiple IGUs on new buildings, or windows and panes that are replaced on existing properties at the end of the product life cycle. For many years, mixed glass containers were the go-to variant for glass disposal, but rising energy costs and society’s growing awareness of sustainability have increased the incentive to recycle. With the IG2Pieces assembly line technology, HEGLA has developed a solution that can automatically separate insulated glass. At the same time, the company offers a handling concept that retains the purity of the raw material and improves revenues, or enables panes to be reused as such.
