Innovation in Action: “Speed Arris” Transforms Glass Production for a Sustainable Future

Etna, a Lithuanian company specializing in glass units, has embarked on a path of growth and innovation by investing in advanced technologies and cutting-edge production processes. Thanks to its collaboration with Bsolution and the adoption of the high-productivity arrising/grinding machine “Speed Arris”, the company has been able to enhance the quality of its glass, delivering safer, more efficient, and more sustainable products.

As part of our company's growth strategy, we have set several key objectives, one of which is adhering to environmental principles by reducing energy and material consumption per product unit.

To achieve this goal, we continuously

• Improve our production processes;
• Invest in the latest manufacturing equipment;
• Maintain high technical standards.

We understand that our customers also value technically sound, safe-to-transport, install, and use glass units.

Therefore, we sought a solution to further enhance product quality. One of the approaches was edge processing for glass. This made our objective clear – we needed a machine to facilitate this process. We decided to explore our options at the "Glastech" exhibition, where we discovered your company. After direct communication, we reached an agreement for collaboration.

The implementation of new equipment has brought us significant benefits in three key areas:

1. Production efficiency;
2. Brand image enhancement;
3. Financial performance.

​By acquiring the "Speed Arris," we can now offer our customers additional services such as edge arrissing or grinding, as well as producing glass units that are more resistant to thermal stress and easier to transport and install. This has provided us, as glass unit manufacturers, with a competitive advantage, which is also reflected in our financial results.

During the installation of the new equipment, we encountered typical challenges – integrating it with our existing production line. The engineer overseeing the "Speed Arris" installation worked professionally, promptly addressing emerging issues. During the commissioning process, additional requirements and questions arose, necessitating non-standard solutions. Your technical team efficiently programmed and implemented the required additional functions within an optimal timeframe, ensuring the seamless integration of the new equipment.
