Encirc have worked tremendously hard for many years to set the benchmark for our industry and are worthy winners of the 2020 Glass Focus Award for Company of the Year.
The Derrylin and Elton based business were shortlisted for five categories in this year’s awards for their work across multiple initiatives from sustainability to marketing and have also gained recognition for their work alongside Glass Futures on the upcoming biofuel trial at their Derrylin plant.
Allied Glass has shown excellence across the year in terms of its own business performance while also representing and strengthening the glass sector as a whole.
Their investment in a new decoration line and office space has allowed them to continue to manufacture high-quality, innovative designs for a number of customers in the spirits sector.
Nippon Electric Glass Fiber UK intrigued the judges with its first-ever entry in the awards. Electric Fiber, a Japanese-owned company which makes glass fibre used in wind turbines, wanted to engage more employees at its Wigan base in improving the ‘Near Miss’ hazard reporting process. It used the title Hiyari Hatto, which is the Japanese for ‘Near Miss’ to challenge all employees to submit one report a month of a near miss, an unsafe act, or an unsafe condition.
A clear commitment to continuous improvement in its own production, the wellbeing of its staff, and the health of the sector have led to Saint-Gobain being named British Glass Company of the Year at the Glass Focus Awards 2017. Find out more...
