AGC Glass Europe is an international group based in Brussels which produces, processes and distributes flat glass for the construction industry (external glazing and indoor decorative glass), the automotive industry, solar applications and certain specialized industries (glazing for railway and subway cars and ships, glass for domestic appliances, and various high-tech applications). It is the European branch of the AGC group (Asahi Glass Co., Ltd). AGC Glass Europe currently employs some 13,000 people. Its industrial facilities comprise 18 float glass lines, 10 automotive glass processing centres and more than 100 distribution-processing units in Europe, stretching from Spain to Russia. ==History== Glaverbel was founded in 1961 out of the merger of ''Glaver'' and ''Univerbel''. In 1972 the Boussois-Souchon-Neuvesel group (now Danone) gained control over Glaverbel. Glaverbel started with a restructuring program and diversified into glass processing in 1974. In 1981 the Asahi Glass Company of Japan acquired Glaverbel. In 1987 Glaverbel was registered at the Brussels stock exchange and in 1990 expanded into Central Europe with the acquisition of ''Glavunion'' in Czechoslovakia. In 1990, Glaverbel was the first western industrial company to invest in Czechoslovakia, and in 1997 the first to invest in Russia. In 1998, Glaverbel acquired the European glass activities of PPG Glass Industries, with a large presence in France and Italy. In 2002, AGC acquired the whole of Glaverbel, which in 2007 was renamed AGC Flat Glass Europe and subsequently (in 2009) AGC Glass Europe. In 2002, Glaverbel was integrated into Asahi Glass and was deregistered from the Brussels stock exchange. In 2007, Glaverbel was renamed as AGC Flat Glass Europe. == Industrial facilities == AGC Glass Europe has industrial facilities throughout Europe, from Spain to Russia, with 18 float lines, 10 automotive glass processing centres and more than 100 distribution/processing units. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AGC Glass Europe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
