Comprising two companies – Germany-based GMB Glasmanufaktur Brandenburg and Liechtenstein-based Interfloat Corporation – Interfloat Group is the largest textured tempered solar glass producer in Europe, with a current capacity of 300 TPD, according to Borosil.

Despite Europe’s high energy prices and the geopolitical uncertainty affecting Europe’s manufacturing industry, Interfloat’s acquisition will strengthen Borosil’s global market position “in the long run”, according to Borosil.

Pradeep Kheruka, executive chairman of Borosil Renewables, said: “The demand for domestically manufactured solar PV modules has increased significantly leading to a higher demand for solar glass by our European customers. In the light of substantial expansion in our capacity in India, we expect to enhance the reliability of our supply chains for our customers.”
