HEGLA says farewell to their company founder, longstanding Managing Director and Executive Board Member Siegfried Glaser.

An outstanding personality, Siegfried Glaser was one of the leading founders of HEGLA. His drive, commitment and ingenuity played an essential role in the success of the business. Under his leadership, the original workshop business grew into a global, high-tech company.

His vision and passion for glass and window handicraft laid the long-term foundation for a successful future. He built a lasting, industry-wide reputation with his tireless work for “Forum Glastechnik”, the Glasstec trade fair and the VDMA, among other things.

We will always remember Siegfried Glaser with respect and thanks. We send our deepest condolences to his wife and family members.
