Under the supervision of Mott MacDonald, Egypt's first float glass plant has now been officially handed over to Egyptian Glass Company (EGC). The new £70m plant was built under Pillkington licence. Located 50km north of Cairo, it has been completed on time and within budget. It will produce up to 100,000 tonnes of float glass/year for the country's building and automotive industries. The plant operates continuously to produce clear, bronze, grey and green glass in thicknesses ranging from 2-12mm.
