Abelglass transforms efficiency with Flat Glass Solutions

When glazing specialist, Abelglass, faced growing challenges with space and outdated glass storage systems, the company turned to Flat Glass Solutions for a smarter, more efficient solution. The result has been a dramatic improvement in workshop organisation and productivity.

Flat Glass Solutions, the exclusive UK and Ireland dealer for Hakon storage systems, provided Abelglass with a tailored manual racking system that is said to have revolutionised their glass storage process.

Simon Bateman, operations manager at Abelglass, commented: “We were very aware that we had to do something. Our old storage system was dated and quite ineffective. After meeting with David (aka Oz) from Flat Glass Solutions, we were introduced to a space-saving and cost-effective manual racking system that immediately stood out.”

The chosen system includes 21 individual storage racks, all fitting neatly into a compact footprint – ideal for workshops where space is at a premium. The installation was completed in just one day, minimising disruption to Abelglass’s operations.

“The guys have certainly seen a difference in the ease of storing glass,” Simon added. “The system is very easy to use and maintain. It’s made a huge difference to our workshop.”

David from Flat Glass Solutions worked closely with the Abelglass team to assess their needs and present several tailored options. The final choice was based on maximising space efficiency while ensuring ease of access and long-term durability.

This successful collaboration highlights the importance of modernising storage solutions in the glass industry, where safety, space, and workflow are critical.

With the new Hakon system in place, Abelglass is now better equipped to meet growing demand while maintaining high standards of safety and efficiency.
