Ravensby Glass makes £3m investment

Dundee-based Ravensby Glass Co has modernised one of its factories with new machinery following a £3million investment.

The specialist glass manufacturer will use the funding to purchase new furnaces and robotic handling equipment that will significantly upgrade and enhance its production line.

Established in 1985, Ravensby Glass is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers and processors of insulated glass units. Boasting a significant portfolio of products, the business processes and supplies toughened glass from its two purpose-built factories for the public, residential, commercial and healthcare markets.

Nicholas Cunningham, chairman, said: “We take great pride in what we do and it is inevitable that we must continue to evolve to future-proof our product and our business. This funding has enabled us to invest in modern automation equipment and our engineers and factory staff are currently undergoing training for the new machines, geared towards enhanced quality control.”
