Pilkington To Reopen Operations

Pilkington have announced that they are to reopen one of their float lines in St Helens. This is intended to produce glass for the solar energy market.

This is obvious good news for an area which was hit badly by the closure of St. Helens glass after over 30 years in business. Solar energy is fast growing market, so the opening of a line dedicated just for the production of glass to that market should be quite a profitable development.
