Construction Glass Industry Developments

In January of 2024, a new project called the Boardwalk at Bricktown was promoted by AO and Matteson Capital. This project consists of the construction of a 1,907-foot skyscraper in downtown Oklahoma City. If built, this will be ranked the sixth in the world tallest buildings located at the center of the downtown region of the city.

In October 2023, NSG Pilkington introduced an eco-friendly glass called Pilkington Mirai™. This is a replacement for the conventional float glass while maintaining the same efficiency of visual quality and performance. There has been in the making of the development of a technology that utilizes alternative fuels, recycled glass and renewable energy to create the Pilkington Mirai™ purpose.

In October 2023, Markets hardest hit by Pilkington United Kingdom Limited was glass which was part of the NSG Group, having introduced a new range of glass cut its embodied carbon content by 50 percent when compared to ordinary float glass * – The lowest carbon of its kind available on the market today.

In July 2023, HeatCure, a coating that nanotechnology uses to defeat transparency, began operations in the nation of India. The main purpose of the coating of nanotechnology-based systems is to prevent the glass doors, windows and facades from solar heat gain.
