Glaston has received an order from Finn Lamex Safety Glass, an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specializing in windscreens for buses and coaches. The order for the Glaston ScreenMax bending furnace is booked in Glaston’s Q4/2023 order book and the bending furnace will be delivered in Q3/2024.
Finn Lamex is a Finnish-based global manufacturer of top-quality laminated windscreens for commercial vehicles and off-road machinery. They specialize in windscreens for buses and coaches. For example, on the red double-decker buses in London, one can see their windscreens.

We pay attention to detail that makes premium quality and successful deliveries possible. Having the latest technology available is a key ingredient when designing our production capabilities for growth,” says Tero Toivanen, Managing Director of Finn Lamex.
