About SKS
SKS specialises in the installation, maintenance and repair of glass melting furnaces. The service portfolio covers a turnkey approach to furnace construction: from draining and demolishing existing furnaces through steel construction work and the installation of refractory materials to commissioning of the plant. In addition, the company offers customised solutions for all life cycle phases of a glass melting tank, including maintenance, repair under extreme temperature conditions and decommissioning. SKS is part of the SORG Group, which specialises in batch preparation, dosing, glass technology and conditioning, and can therefore support projects along the entire production line. Reference projects include the construction of the world's largest container glass furnace as well as projects for customers such as IVC in Mexico, Vidrio Formas and AFICO. The company employs more than 200 staff in Europe and Asia.
