The new building is designed utilising solar control energy saving glass, enables heat resistance, reducing the energy requirements and consumption in the office and backing its goal of a reduced carbon footprint.
Globe Mirror was founded in 1969 by the late Mohammed Nawaz. In order to remain at the cutting edge of industry technology and provide international standard glass locally, Globe Mirror established two glass-processing plants in Colombo. Outfitted with the latest technology, the plants make it possible to produce tailor made solutions for industrial structures and requirements while concentrating on individual clients independently. Additionally, it makes working as a wholesaler across multiple projects effectively possible and also to continue to serve many clients at the same time with the same high degree of quality and service.
As the company has increasingly become a leading processor and supplier in all types of glass for Sri Lanka, aside from only mirrors, May of 2015 has seen the company being renamed as Globe Glass (Pvt) Ltd. It has also seen a drive to enable access to the company across a range of touch points including a redesigned and enhanced digital presence.
The Globe Glass tempered and laminating plants, commissioned in late 2009, are capable of producing glass that is tempered and toughened up to five times the strength of regular glass of the same thickness, as well as detailed colored and fabric laminated safety glass for all external and interior requirements. Producing to an ISO 9001:2008 certification standard, the plant is an integral part of the overall Globe Glass production process that has won international accreditation and awards. Recognised by the Safe Glass Consortium (SGC) as the safest tempering factory in Sri Lanka, the two plants have also contributed to Globe Glass being named Certified Glass Processor for the world's largest glass manufacturer, St. Gobain Glass. This plant is also equipped with state of the art glass processing machines, which make it possible for the Company to seamlessly supply the needs of the Sri Lankan glass industry.
In addition to its efforts locally, Globe Glass has also strengthened its international relationships over the years, importing float glass and accessories from industry giants such as the Guardian Glass Group, St. Gobain Glass India and Ozone. The company also recently invested in a CNC Bottero Practica edging machine from Italy, which is the only one of its kind in Sri Lanka and is able to cut glass to precise sizes as well as provide edging and beveling of glass and mirrors of any image or shape.
