The Bystronic Glass Group recently took over the Canadian technology company, Intra Product Development.

Now called the Bystronic Solution Centre, the company is dedicated to developing technologies for the cost-effective manufacturing of PVC-U windows.

Bystronic Glass will now be in a position to offer its customers a complete solution concept from glass cutting through to finished windows, as well as to total solutions in the manufacturing of architectural and automotive glass.

Claus Rieger was appointed General Manager of the Bystronic Solution Centre, in addition to his positions as General Manager of Bystronic Inc. and Manager of the USA/NAFTA Market Region. Other members of the Management Team are the previous Intra owners Stephen Field and Michael Glover.

The Bystronic Solution Centre is now working together with partners in the glass and window industry to create innovative production methods for PVC-U windows.

The newly-developed Fusion Assembly and Friction Corner Welding manufacturing techniques will be launched on the American market next year.
