Since the development of float glass manufacturing and the beginning of the licensing era in the early 1960’s, Orwell Engineering has been involved with the development of equipment to meet the ever growing demand.

Since those days, much of the equipment in use today on Pilkington float glass lines has been developed in our workshops working closely with Pilkington. Over the decades, there have been many changes in design, materials and methods of manufacture to meet the current demand for quality and reliability.

Orwell has a thorough understanding of customers’ requirements and employs best practice procedures in equipment supply and operation.

We are extremely proud that currently the majority of float lines around the world are operating with Orwell equipment.
