Pilkington has announced its new organisation Pilkington Building Products UK. The company says that the move, which was completed on 31st March 2004, will prepare the company for future market opportunities and provide far-reaching benefits for customers and specifiers.
The new organisation builds on two successful businesses, volume glass manufacturing through Pilkington Primary Products and downstream branches, previously known as Pilkington Processing and Merchanting UK.

The formation of a single company brings with it more clarity, efficiency and simplicity. It now provides one clear channel of communication and allows for greater transparency, enabling the company to work with the customers in a more effective manner.

Matt Buckley, Marketing Director at Pilkington Building Products UK comments: ‘These are exciting times at Pilkington and the decision to bring together the two former operations together makes perfect sense. We can now complement our unrivalled product offering with a seamless customer service. Pilkington Building Products UK is highly focused on quality and the formation of the new organisation will help us to deliver exemplary service to all our customers across the country and provide solid commercial expertise to professionals at all levels of the glass and building industries.’

Pilkington Building Products UK manufactures a wide range of float, coated, rolled, laminated and toughened glass products as well as its own range of high performance insulating glass units. Glass is distributed direct to customers, either as stock or as bespoke processed products to meet their needs either direct from St Helens or through our network of 23 branches countrywide.

The company is highly focused on quality and service, continually improving to deliver the benefits of Pilkington’s technical ability and innovation to the end user.
