Glass processing - Import export

Finest quality surface polishing is vital in plane optic production. At Befort, this has top priority from production all the way to final inspection. Thanks to sophisticated CNC technology, we are able to produce single planeoptic components as well as multifunctional systems. We process optical glass, filter glass, quartz glass and float glass up to a size of 600 mm diameter. We make filters, groundglass screens, plane mirrors, windows with a plane parallel surface contour and realize customized solutions for specific applications. In our test laboratory we measure machined surfaces with an interferometer to be able to guarantee top optical quality! No lens element leaves our factory before it meets the exact specifications and requirements of the customer

Crucial to this is the proper separation and processing of various glass waste types, such as float glass, laminated safety glass, insulated glass, and car windows. GLASS RECYCLING | RESPONSIBLE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT With over 1 million tons of processed flat and container glass annually, we are among Europe's leading recycling companies. With 100 years of experience and over 650 employees, we operate at 12 locations in Europe and abroad, ensuring that high-quality cullet is reused as a secondary raw material in various glass industries and melting applications. We assist you in disposing of your flat glass with tailored solutions. We offer individual container solutions, ranging from 1.1 m³ skip containers to 15-30 m³ roll-off containers, based on your specific needs and the quantity and type of glass waste generated. Collection of float glass, laminated glass, insulated glass, and mixed fractions of different glasses is possible. Contact us for more information or quotes!

Sandblasting the glass to reduce its transparency or to embellish it with shapes/designs/symbols. Can be combined with other processes such as silvering and decoration.

Creation on glass of symbols, words, stylized drawings, geometric shapes silvered to a mirror, and therefore reflective.

Creating abstract colored effects on glass or mirror. In one or more colors including gold, blue, green, black. Obtained by high temperatures. On glass of all thicknesses and colours. Can be combined with other processes such as silvering and sandblasting.

Glass cutting is a complex process requiring innovative technologies. Our lasercut technique allows many possibilities in terms of shape whether straight or rounded. Moreover, this step does not alter the resistance of the glass and provides highquality straight edges finish.

Chemical strengthening, via ion exchange, is commonly used to reinforce ultrathin glass for hightech applications. This process tremendously improves the mechanical strength and the scratch resistance of the glass and then offers new possibilities for applications such as curved displays e.d for automotive, interior building, or other device applications.
