SG recently completed delivery of multiple sets of Sapphire Transparent Armor Windows for integration into armored vehicles for government use. "SG has developed a new window laminate system based on large sapphire sheet. Production is done at our Milford, New Hampshire facility. This system makes our new Sapphire Transparent Armor Windows very competitive for this important application", said Jeff Rioux, market manager for Saint-Gobain Crystals. "SG is the only producer of transparent ceramic material that offers complete laminated systems to withstand multiple hits by armor piercing threats. The first commercial order for multiple sets of our Sapphire Transparent Armor System was shipped & the customer was pleased with the system's multi-hit performance & our ability to have the sapphire windows available for lamination within weeks of signing the contract. Consequently, we were awarded a larger second contract", adds Rioux.
