Flabeg has completed its acquisition of Naugatuck Glass by renaming it as Flabeg Technical Glass U.S. Corp.

Naugatuck Glass established its position in the field of machining and finishing of thin glass with strengths of 0.95 mm. Flabeg is counting on such expertise to strengthen its offering in the CSP sector.

The company, which has expanded its solar portfolio with a focus on thin glass technology for solar applications, is also moving ahead with the development of lead-and copper-free protection and coating systems for solar energy applications.

Flabeg believes thinner glass units have a role to play in parabolic-reflector power stations.

High solar reflecting mirrors can be produced using 4-5 mm thickness mirrors or thin glass (1 mm). The glass thickness is dictated more by the CSP technology rather than the glass fabrication or production.
