Glasstech automotive systems are the products of inventive minds, creative thinking and innovative problem solving. Time and production have proven, beyond a doubt, that our equipment is the most rugged, dependable and versatile.

The first automotive system introduced by Glasstech was the Quick Sag bending and tempering system in 1979, which revolutionized the production of automotive glass with its simplicity and high productivity – and with higher quality made possible through technology that eliminated tong marks and the associated glass distortion.

Glasstech advanced the capability of the Quick Sag process in 1985 with the introduction of the Deep Bend 4™ process, which gave glass processors the ability to produce deep bend glass with small radius bends and high quality. And in 1991, Glasstech introduced its original CRB™ system, which provided the ability to process OEM-quality cylindrical parts without requiring part-dedicated tooling.

Glasstech further expanded its product range in 2000 with the introduction of the EPB-T™ system, which has established new industry standards for sidelite glass. EPB-T provides the capability to meet rigid Volkswagen/Audi quality standards in a high production system with low tooling costs.

Glasstech followed the EPB-T™ with the introduction of the EPB-L™ which offers glass processors major advantages – higher quality, greater productivity, economical tooling and much lower energy costs – compared to traditional methods of bending windshield glass for laminating.

Glasstech expanded its offering for complex automotive backlites, with the introduction of the DBX-T™ system in 2015. the DBX is a high capacity system which can process complex shapes to tight tolerances with excellent optics. In its highest capacity configuration, the DBX can process complex backlites at cycle rates as low as 10 seconds.

Glasstech's latest development is the expansion of the EPB product line with the launch of the EPB-XL, XT and XLT product line. EPB-XL, XT and XLT expands on the success of the popular EPB product line by expanding the size capabilities to meet the requirements of the new larger windshields and roof systems being introduced to the market. The EPB-XL, XT and XLT systems offer the same advantages as the standard EPB systems only the load area is expanded to 1600mm (63") by 2134mm (84").
