About Saint-Gobain Glass UK

Established in 2000, the Saint-Gobain Glass Eggborough site has been pivotal in implementing circular economy principles for both glass production and recycling. Through our Glass Forever recycling programme, we’ve consistently set industry standards for sustainability, quality, and innovation in glass production.

In 2021, we undertook a significant upgrade with a cold-repair furnace, introducing a larger and more efficient one. This upgrade enhanced our production capabilities and reaffirmed our commitment to sustainable, high-quality glass manufacturing.

Celebrating 25 years of sustainability and innovation

2025 marks the 25th anniversary of Saint-Gobain Glass in the UK. Since its inception, Saint-Gobain Glass has built a reputation for pushing boundaries in glass manufacturing. From achieving a float yield world record in 2010 to winning numerous industry awards including G Awards Glass Company of the Year (2015 & 2022) and British Glass Company of the Year (2017 & 2019).

Our journey wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our customers, many of whom have been with us from the very beginning. These partnerships, built on trust, innovation, and collaboration, have played a pivotal role in shaping the company we are today.

Behind our success is a dedicated workforce, with 28 employees having been with the plant since its early days. Over the years, the site has fostered a strong culture of teamwork and collaboration. The well-being and continued development of our people is at the core of our company culture and will help us to continue to thrive in the years to come.
