About UsIAG Co Ltd is the culmination of over four decades process of evolution and growth that began in 1956 under the name of Indo Asahi Glass Co. Ltd. It was the first joint venture of Asahi Glass Co Ltd, of Japan, outside their country. From that time the company was showered with uninterrupted patronage and directions from them till the year 1998.
The first three decades of the companys existence were primarily devoted to the growth and consolidation of the sheet glass business in clear and colour. In the year 1988, the company launched a line of high quality figured glass. In the year 1999, the Japanese conglomerate debonded their relationship with the Indo Asahi Glass Co. Ltd. Thereafter the ownership was fully indianised and it came under the aegis of an Indian glass manufacturer transforming the name to IAG Company Ltd. After completion of fifty years of existence, the full management and operational control of the company has been taken over by an upcoming entrepreneur group who are in the construction materials manufacturing for few years. With the advent of globalization of the Indian economy, IAG has transformed it?s work culture tuning with the new era. But still the reputation that IAG has built over the years for high ethical standards is one of companys greatest business assets.
In recognition to performance in export of company's manufactured products, Sheet Glass and Figured Glass, accolades were bestowed upon the company by CAPEXIL(the related export promotion council of India--sponsored by Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India) as SPECIAL EXPORT AWARD for three consecutive years 1993-94, 1994-95 & 1995-96 and CERTIFICATE OF MERIT for two consecutive years 1999-2000 & 2000-2001. |
Warehouse / Production CapacityOver the years, IAG has played a pioneering role in glass production in India. Since 1964, the company’s Bhurkunda plant has been the only manufacturer of glass as thin as 1.1mm used for microslides. This has resulted in considerable import substitution. At present the Installed Capacity of our Sheet Glass plant is 5.62 million sq.mt. per annum. Production capacity of Figured Glass has been increasing constantly. The company started Figured Glass production in 1988 with the Installed Capacity of 2.7 million sq.mt. per annum which went up to 8.27 million sq.mt. per annum in 1998 and now it is 12.19 million sq.mt. per annum. Sheet Glass is drawn vertically from the furnace with ‘Fourcault’ process and ‘Asahi’ process. From the other furnace Figured Glass, Wired Glass & Plain Rolled Glass (Non-Glare Glass) is drawn horizontally by ‘Rolled-out’ process. The processes of manufacture which determine the end-product are examples of world standard technologies being adapted to Indian conditions. Every item manufactured at IAG conforms to BSI specifications. High quality is maintained by keeping strict watch throughout the production process.IAG has it’s own stringent quality tests which every batch of products must pass before it reaches the market.
