Azizia Glass Manufacturing Company (AGMC) will open its new Glass Processing factory on the 20th th May 2009.

The factory has installed and commissioned the latest state of the art computerized glass processing technology to meet the large demand for specialized processed manufactured glass in Libya.

The company has spent over 12 million Libyan dinars setting up and re generating the dedicated glass factory in Al azizia to provide the widest range of products, applications and glazing services to the construction industry here in North Africa.

Mr Steve Laughton, General Manger AGMC Glass stated that "its an exciting time for the company as we have invested in the latest glass technology to help Libya with its new building and development program."

AGMC has involved some of the world's most experienced glass management and consultants to design and build their new facilities.

The company is also planning to build a specialist training centre to teach computer technology, English and glass manufacturing processes.

Mr Alexandsar Vasiljevic a director of the company has advised "that the factory will be able to produce a wide range of specialized Glass products such AGMC Energysave double glaze windows, façade glass for multi storey buildings, glass partitioning and doors".

There are a large number of building projects, mutli storey hotels and office building that are going to need AGMC Libyan Glass products.

This means that AGMC Glass can produce glass products on demand for the construction companies with in a very short turn around period of time, helping to ensure that any tight build programs are met, brought in on budget with the minimum of disruption on site.

To date the building companies have had to wait many months for the products to come from China. Often there is breakage or problems with the glass and the project is stopped while waiting for supply.

This problem affects the timetable and more importantly the cashflow for the clients and the building company.

AGMC has spent many millions of Libyan Dinars building up stock glass ready for the processing factory so it can turn around requests in days. In fact it is the largest glass storage facitity in North Africa.

Mr Alexandsar Vasiljevic said that "he would like to thank our 40 % shareholder Libyan partners the Libyan Socialist Economic Fund for its valuable help in assisting with the government administrative matters.

Without their help we would be struggling to complete our tasks" The opening of this new dedicated processing factory is a positive sign how Libya is moving forward with its plans.

Mr Steve Laughton stated that he is now looking forward to AGMC second phase of its 'Development in Libya' program starting with the construction of a multi million glass float plant capable of producing 700 tons of glass a day.
