Automotive Glazing
Glass production in Grevenmacher looks back on a long success story that began in 1992. Continuous investment has allowed the site to grow into a centre of excellence for glass production in the automotive sector since its foundation. In the summer of 2022, Webasto decided to increase its depth of added value and enter the glass finishing sector by taking over the plant. In order to be able to optimally fulfil customer wishes, the competences in the area of smart glazing, from switchable glazing to ambient lighting to solar roofs, are to be deepened together and incorporated into technologically complex projects.
Competence center for automotive glazing
Today, the site operates under the name Webasto Luxemburg S.A.. Innovative windscreens (e.g. head-up displays), backlites and panoramic roofs are manufactured on an area of 50,000 square metres. The site in Grevenmacher has great development potential. Over the next few years, it is to be expanded into Webasto's centre of competence for automotive glazing with associated production. "We will invest in another glass production line in order to also be able to manufacture roof systems with larger glass elements on site," explains Holger Engelmann, CEO of the Webasto Group. "In perspective, we also want to open up the Asian and American markets with this technology."
