Saudi American Glass (SAG) has boosted its overall production capacity enabling it to produce more and strengthen its presence in the Saudi market.

The company has also introduced Vitroglaze to the Saudi market, becoming the only provider of self-cleaning glass that uses nanotechnology to minimise maintenance costs.

SAG, a component of Glass LLC, a leading processor of architectural flat glass in the Middle East and subsidiary of Dubai Investments PJSC, announced that total capacity had been raised to 7 million sq m per year.

Glass LLC has opened two new sales offices for SAG and its sister concern Emirates Glass in Riyadh and Jeddah.

We have achieved high output levels through the close integration of our units under Glass LLC.
