Biggest printing line in the Middle East has been commissioned and it is now operating in TECHNICAL GLASS AND ALUMINIUM COMPANY LLC, making it the only company in United Arab Emirates able to supply digitally printed glass up to 3.300 x 12.000 mm.
Vitro jet FS model makes printing on large glass sheets faster than ever, the head moves crosswise to the print carriage. Thanks to the Side Kinetix Technology, it is possible to always print in the direction of the long side of the glass, even with extremely large-sized glass sheets, in the easiest and fastest manner.
“Digital printing on glass is increasingly fundamental in the world of architectural glass and it was since the beginning in our scope of supply for new factory in Dubai. We were already familiar with this technology as we had a digital printer machine in our facility in Qatar. Decision was easy for us once we analysed all the aspects, Tecglass is a worldwide well-known company and the most advance technology with unique features as recirculation system, highest resolution or side kinetix technology.” confirms Mr. Hassan, General Manager of TECHNICAL GLASS AND ALUMINIUM COMPANY LLC and person in charge of creating the largest glass factory in the Middle East.
