Saudi American Glass (SAG) has expanded its presence in the Kingdom by increasing its overall production capacity of energy-efficient glass to seven million square metres a year.

SAG is part of Glass LLC, a leading processor of architectural flat glass in the Middle East and a subsidiary of Dubai Investments PJSC.

SAG has also introduced Vitroglaze to the Saudi market, becoming the only provider of self-cleaning glass that uses nanotechnology to minimise maintenance costs.

As part of SAG’s growth, Glass LLC has opened two new sales offices for SAG and its sister concern, Emirates Glass, in Riyadh and Jeddah.

Glass LLC brands – Emirates Glass, Lumiglass, Saudi American Glass and Emirates Float Glass – offer a diverse range of spectrally-selective tinted glass to domestic and international markets.
