Glaston and Beneq Join Forces to Develop TCO Coated Glass for Solar Applications

Beneq, provider of novel industrial coating equipment and technology based on aerosol technologies, and Glaston, international glass technology company and global market leader in glass processing machines, have signed a strategic cooperation agreement.

The cooperation is intended to provide a framework for the two companies to work together in developing and delivering systems for continuous production of TCO coated glass for the solar industry. Beneq has extensive experience in developing and providing aerosol technologies for advanced thin film coatings, such as transparent conductive oxides (TCO), anti-reflective and low-e. Glaston provides state-of-art continuous flat glass heat treatment technology with high capacity and quality glass for demanding solar solutions.

Together, Beneq and Glaston will bring TCO coating lines to the solar industry in an unprecedented combination of mature technology, economically feasible solutions and reliable equipment.
