Date: 7 February 2023
The curved glass machinery of the Cricursa factories is working at peak performance. Both the La Sentiu (Lleida) and Granollers (Barcelona) factories are at maximum performance levels with Tvitec鈥檚 new industrial project, and the factories鈥 operations manager, Favio Ribero, attests to this with satisfaction, both in terms of technological capabilities and the specialised workforce.
鈥淲e are fully set up to handle all types of curves up to 18 metres鈥, he highlights. At La Sentiu, all the tempering lines (for curved and flat glass) are working at full performance. And the same is true for the multi-laminated glass lines, which can manufacture large thicknesses with extraordinary precision and finishes. 鈥淲ith sentry, PVB and various types of inserts鈥, adds Ribero, who also emphasises the range of solutions available for spherical and double curvature glass and, of course, digital screen printing and eco-efficient double glazing.
The 鈥榟uman factor鈥 is also playing a key role in keeping the factories at their current performance levels. 鈥淎ll our specialised staff are highly motivated, coordinated and fully integrated. Both in La Sentiu and Granollers鈥. And this is supported by Tvitec鈥檚 injection of resources across all fields. 鈥淭vitec鈥檚 involvement in this new industrial project is set to transform us, on a global scale, into the factory of architects鈥 dreams for curved glass manufacture鈥, emphasises the operations manager. In Granollers, the 8 gravity bending furnaces, the 3 curving tempering units and the 2 cast glass ovens are also keeping Tvitec Cricursa鈥檚 operations finely tuned. This is alongside the four clean rooms for laminating and screen printing, across both Granollers and La Sentiu, which are backed by the rigorous ISO7 certification.
The technical department led by Alex Sasplugas, in Granollers, works its magic to make consultancy, engineering, and architecture firms鈥 proposals from all over the world a reality. 鈥淚t鈥檚 the best in the world, undoubtedly鈥, he emphasises.
鈥淭vitec is helping to transform us, on a global scale, into the factory of architects鈥 dreams for curved glass manufacture鈥 - Fabio Rivero, Operations Manager at Cricursa.
The factories are close to be performing at 100%. But the aim is to be above that level. In fact, in a few months, La Sentiu will reinforce its manufacturing capacity with two new glass bending furnaces, so in total, between the 2 factories of Cricursa, there will be 10 tempering units and 10 slumping units all dedicated to curved glass. The way in which both industrial and commercial coordination is being refined at Tvitec, in this case with Ferr谩n Figuerola at the helm, has raised expectations in terms of production, quality excellence, precision, and service. Tvitec is continuing to work with Cricursa鈥檚 existing commercial contacts for curved glass solutions, although you can also send any new proposals for both flat and curved glass projects to info@tvitec.com.
