Established in 1995, NorthGlass successfully developed China’s first horizontal roller-type glass bending and tempering furnace with independent intellectual property rights. Within just a few years, it rapidly rose to become a leading global brand, marking the beginning of the “NorthGlass chapter” in China’s glass industry.
Driven by innovation, NorthGlass has continuously broken technological barriers. From the first tempering furnace capable of processing 3.5-meter ultra-wide curtain wall glass to 23-meter “super glass,” the company has repeatedly set new industry benchmarks. Since 2002, NorthGlass’ tempering equipment has ranked among the world’s top for 24 consecutive years, achieving the highest global production and sales volume and covering more countries and regions than any competitor in the industry.

The NorthGlass trademark was recognized as a China Well-Known Trademark in 2017, and in 2019, the Light Stone prefabricated unitized curtain wall system was launched. By 2022, NorthGlass successfully produced 23-meter glass panels, and in 2023, the company established the Glass Deep Processing BU, integrating R&D and production across Tianjin, Shanghai, and Luoyang, while entering the high-end residential market.
