Our new Quality Manager joined us mid-June.
His experience acquired in the world of industry will allow us to continue to develop our quality approach.
Verre Industrie is everywhere
In France, Verre Industrie is the leader of glass machining from small to middle sizes and is able to provide from easy to very complex and specific pieces thanks to its savoir-faire and a great complementarity of its production equipment.
Trocadéro – Eiffel Tower public lighting renovation project
Verre Industrie was chosen to manufacture and renovate the balls on the public lighting masts around the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
This operation requires the identical remanufacturing of the cast glassware, including the supply of blanks, machining, chemical strengthening and assembly of the two half-spheres by Verre Industrie.
This prestigious project will start as early as this summer and will take several years to complete.
In 2023 Verre Industrie celebrates its 70th anniversary! 5 things you didn’t know about Verre Industrie

Collaboration with ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile
Verre Industrie has been selected to manufacture substrates for a test campaign at the ESO (European Southern Observatory) site in Chile’s Atacama Desert.
The Cerro Paranal Observatory is an astronomical observatory located at an altitude of 2,635 meters, which enables the study of stars in wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet to the infrared.
The project comprises four 8.2-metre main telescopes, which together with four 1.8-metre auxiliary telescopes (the “ATs”) make up the Very Large Telescope (VLT).
Technical glasses for aeronautics
Turbines and on-board equipment containing fluids require small windows and gauges that are resistant to chemical agents, scratches, pressure and temperature.
Verre Industrie produces many variants in borofloat or silica machined with great precision.
Technical lighting: ever more efficient glasses
Technical lighting requires ever-higher optical and mechanical performance.
Verre Industrie offers a wide range of solutions for different topics:
– anti-UV glass
– glass with maximum UV transmission
– visible and infrared anti-reflective glass
– glass for maximum infrared transmission (borofloat® and quartz/silica)
– color conversion filters
– customized mechanical reinforcement
– etc.

Chemical strengthening: new possibilities
Chemical strengthening doesn’t just apply to flat glass: Verre Industrie routinely strengthens curved glass from 0.5 mm thickness upwards.
More recently, we have also been tempering soda-lime glass moldings and tubes for mechanical strengthening that would otherwise be impossible to achieve.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Headlight protection for railway rolling stock
In recent months, new railway glass projects have multiplied.
Verre Industrie was entrusted with the manufacture of protective glass for headlights and third lights for trams and trains in various configurations :
– thermally toughened flat glass
– thermally tempered heated flat glass
– curved chemically strengthened glass
