This year, in collaboration with the french CEA, Verre Industrie is supplying hexagonal machined glass for the production of the mirrors of the 110 telescopes from 4 to 23 m in diameter for the CTA project.
We were selected for our ability to perform high-precision machining in a reproducible way.
The CTA is the world’s first observatory dedicated to the study of very high energy gamma rays.
From Pyrex® to Borofloat®.
Since the mid-1960s, Verre Industrie has been processing borosilicate glass, originally under the Pyrex® brand and now under the Borofloat® name.
Today, it is used in particular in pharmacy, chemistry, medicine, the construction of furnaces, aeronautics or optics.
Borofloat® has a low coefficient of expansion.
It is distinguished by excellent resistance
– thermal (up to 500°)
– mechanical
– chemical attacks.
Practically without absorption in the visible spectrum (T>90%) and the infrared, Borofloat® has a very high level of transparency and remains practically colorless.
Verre Industrie does process Borofloat® in all its forms and in all common thicknesses.
Our philosophy is to offer you the glass adapted to your technical requirements and to control its processing in our factory.
We buy glass directly from producers in France and abroad, thus developing privileged relationships with them.
We are now distribution and processing partners of most of them.
From March 28th to 30th, 2023, Verre Industrie will exhibit at the SIFER Fair in Lille Grand Palais.
Come and meet us to discuss your projects and discover our possibilities.

When it was created in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, Verre Industrie specialized in cutting glass discs for Jaz alarm clocks as its first major customer.
It quickly develops a clientele in need of small glass parts, extending its know-how in the shaping of all types of glass.
Current productions are more diversified but the DNA of Verre Industrie in 2023 remains the manufacture of small parts in technical glass.
Military, avionics, medical, test and measurement equipment or communication systems require a specific level of protection against electromagnetic radiation.

Our partner Vision Systems has entrusted us with the manufacture of several hundred thin glasses X-Lite for dimmable windows to be fitted in series in Daher TBM 960 aircraft.
This success rewards the joint efforts of recent years including the creation several prototypes before the launch in production.
It shows there is a bright future for these products in commercial and private aviation.
Thank you to our client for their trust and thank you to our teams for their performance.
