It is noteworthy that it is not in the Far East, and in the central part of Russia — in Kaluga

The second largest producer in the world of automotive glass — Chinese company Fuyao Glass Industry Group — opened its plant in Kaluga. Already at the start it can produce up to 1 million sets of automotive glass per year, and for two years to triple its capacity.

Today the market of original equipment automotive glass in Russia is approximately a little less than 2 million sets per year. That is, theoretically, the new company is able to meet the needs of all Russian car factories and still supply most of the products are for export. However, the initial scenario implies a different distribution.

Two-thirds of manufactured glass will go to European car manufacturers and only one-third will be implemented in the country. The first customer was the Kaluga plant Volkswagen, which until now put on their machines only glass from China and Europe.

It is expected that other major customer will AvtoVAZ. All companies that collect foreign cars in Russia are obliged to systematically increase the localization of production, going on car components manufactured within the country.

Today, the main supplier of glass on the Russian car is a Japanese company Asahi Glass Co., Which is the largest manufacturer of these products in the world and has its production facilities in Russia. Nizhny Novgorod enterprise «AGC Bor Glassworks» is the affiliate, «Vedomosti».
