Key points
- Tempered glass sales share reached 16%.
- $1 million invested in tempering production lines.
- Tempered window production increased by 36% in square meters.
In the first ten months of 2026, the share of tempered glass units in the sales volume of the window manufacturer Ekipazh rose to 16%, up from 5% in 2023. CEO and co-owner Sergiy Teplitsky noted that tempered glass is becoming increasingly popular due to its superior impact resistance and safety features, as it shatters into harmless granules upon breakage.
To meet the rising demand, the company invested approximately $1 million in tempering furnace technology. Currently, two production lines are capable of processing up to 40,000 square meters of tempered glass per month. The process involves heating the glass to 700°C followed by rapid cooling, which increases its strength by four to five times.
While Ukrainian building regulations currently mandate tempered glass primarily for public spaces and high-risk areas, market trends show a shift toward European safety standards. Ekipazh currently exports about 10% of its products, with a significant portion of these exports consisting of safety glass, aligning with strict EU requirements.
