170 Years of Glass Tradition from Regensburg
Glas Natter GmbH from Regensburg is a fourth-generation family business specialising in the processing and finishing of flat glass. Its core business is the production of multi-pane insulating glass as well as a broad range of functional insulating glass: thermal insulation glass (NEUTRALUX®), solar control glass (SOLARLUX®), sound insulation glass (AKUSTEX®), bird protection glass (ORNILUX®), safety glass (ESG, VSG), fire-resistant glass (ARDOREX®), light-directing and decorative glass. Production takes place on computer-controlled finishing machines and a fully automatic insulating glass production line; the warehouse stocks around 600 tonnes of base glass in formats up to 600 x 321 cm. As a long-standing ISOLAR® licensee, Glas Natter primarily serves trade contractors such as window, metal and facade builders, glaziers and joiners, as well as architects, including special formats in the project business. Delivery is by its own trucks with loading cranes, usually directly to the construction site; installation assistance with suction devices complements the offering.
