On June 16, Luoyang Bureau of Industry and Information Technology organized awarding ceremony and symposium of 10 landmark high-end equipment in the municipal equipment manufacturing industry, and awarded “Top 10 landmark high-end equipment of Luoyang equipment manufacturing in 2020” for 10 products of NorthGlass photovoltaic glass continuous tempering equipment, and NorthGlass became the only tempering equipment among the ten winning enterprises.

The purpose of this selection is to encourage the city's equipment manufacturing enterprises to improve their independent innovation ability, work intensively in superior fields, conquer a number of “bottleneck” technologies in key fields, develop a number of landmark high-end equipment, and provide strong support for the construction of a national advanced manufacturing base. The selection was launched at the beginning of the year, the leading industry of Luoyang  was selected after the application of materials and complicated selection, and top ten landmark high-end equipment selection of the equipment manufacturing industry was held at the first time in Luoyang.

As an excellent representative in the field of glass deep processing equipment, NorthGlass has started from the research and development of the first horizontal roller glass flat curved tempering electric furnace unit in China, and continuously has challenged the limit of tempered processing. It has developed 12.8 meters and 18 meters curved tempering furnace, 20 meters and 24 meters flat tempering furnace, and 8 meters large arc-length tempering furnace. NorthGlass customers come from all over 100 countries and regions around the world, and NorthGlass provides tempering equipment, technical support and transformation services for Sanit-Gobain, Asahi, SouthGlass, Fuyao and many other multinational glass groups.

Innovation is the primary driving force for technological development and the key to high-quality development. The transformation and development of high-end manufacturing in NorthGlass cannot be separated from the support of independent innovation. The report to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that “we should accelerate the building of a manufacturing power, accelerate the development of advanced manufacturing, promote the deep integration of the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and the real economy, promote China's industry to the middle-high end of the global value chain, and cultivate a number of world-level advanced manufacturing clusters.” In the critical period of China's transformation from manufacturing leading power to manufacturing great power, enterprises should assume the great mission of innovation and development, constantly lay a solid foundation for high-end through technological innovation, and increase their color with lean management, and contribute to the realization of the dream of “manufacturing great power”.
