H.Glass is a preferred partner of companies specialising in solar technology, using ready-to-use modules laminated between two plates of glass – a piece of technology with a wide range of uses. In 2017, g2e glass2energy SA became H.Glass – a name that is a better reflection of the Swiss company’s ambition, its quality, its values and its vision. The change was spurred by the firm’s repositioning on the global market. Today, H.Glass employs more than 50 people in various fields. Its teams of researchers, chemists, and process and machine engineers help the firm to develop its products independently. H.Glass has also grown to encompass three production teams. Owing to its success, the Swiss company has ramped up production and is striving to expand the scale of manufacturing to better serve its customers’ needs. H.Glass panels open up new channels to harness the energy potential of buildings. They are rewriting the rules on construction and can be used on façades (as building-integrated photovoltaics) and windows to generate electricity or simply because they look good! H.Glass panels are a testament to the unprecedented design potential for architectural projects, with colours and designs covering the entire building.
