About Reli Glastechnologie
Reli Glastechnologie is a glass processing company founded in 1992 by Hubert Rebel and Roberto Liardo, headquartered in Eppingen-Rohrbach (Baden-Württemberg). The company manufactures and finishes flat glass products for bathroom and shower, kitchen and living, outdoor applications as well as for industrial customers. The range of services includes glass cutting, edge processing, grinding, polishing and beveling, drilled holes and cut-outs, sandblasting, painting, foiling, screen printing, fusing (glass fusion), glass bending and satining. Core products are toughened safety glass (ESG 4–15 mm to EN 12150-2), heat-strengthened glass (TVG), laminated safety glass (VSG) and insulating glass according to SGG constructions. On state-of-the-art machinery – CNC machining center, CNC cutting table, single-edge grinding machine up to 55 mm glass thickness, bending and melting furnaces as well as a tempering furnace – Reli also manufactures safety glass as contract work for glass processing companies. In-house warehousing and logistics enable short delivery times; within a 100 km radius the company delivers itself, nationwide via logistics partners.

Glass types and processes
Float glass (soda-lime)
Base material for cutting, safety glass and insulating glass constructions.
Toughened safety glass (EN 12150-2)
Thermally toughened soda-lime safety glass in 4–15 mm, backed by CE declarations of performance.
Heat-strengthened glass
Heat-treated glass with high energy absorption, among other things for glazing with increased requirements.
Laminated safety glass
Constructions laminated with safety or colored films, e.g. VSG 44.2, for protection and safety.
Insulating glass (SGG CLIMALIT/CLIMAPLUS)
Multi-pane constructions with argon, krypton or air filling for thermal and sound insulation.
Screen printing / glass printing
Custom motifs, logos and photorealistic designs on glass surfaces.
Sandblasting
Surface treatment with an automatic sandblasting system and cutting plotter for templates.
Fusing (glass fusion)
Joining glasses and glass with metal using UV adhesive, e.g. for display cases and counter consoles.
Glass bending
Bending and melting furnaces for curved glass in cylindrical, conical or dome shapes.
