What our clients say
“Very flexible and always willing to help”
Glass Solutions is very flexible and always willing to help; they give us exact lead times so that we know when the order will be ready, and our drivers collect the glassware during their daily routine, ensuring rapid delivery and minimising breakages during transit. It’s an ideal situation.
“High-quality”
The company worked well with us to perfect a high-quality product meeting our design specifications and tolerances, adjusting its processes where necessary and providing technical advice.
“A great working relationship built on trust.”
Glass Solutions gives us a lead time and keeps to it, which is exactly what we need, and has the flexibility to allocate additional staff to a project to meet short deadlines when necessary…we have established a great working relationship built on trust.
“The craftsmanship…is incredible”
The craftsmanship involved in glass blowing, bonding different pieces of glass together and then creating the bespoke shape…is incredible and cannot be mimicked by a computer or machine. Turnaround times are equally important, and Glass Solutions delivered the awards to us in advance of the agreed deadline.
“Excellent”
Although every component is inspected on delivery, I know that this is not necessary since each piece of glassware will be identical, which is excellent.
Part of the AGI Group
Glass Solutions is part of the AGI Group, a global group of companies that manufacture scientific glassware. With glassblowing at the core of the business, we are able to share knowledge, improve training, access diverse manufacturing resources, and respond to virtually any scientific glassware challenge.
Along with our own products and expertise, being part of the AGI Group gives us an unequalled insight into what it takes to produce products combining glass and other materials. It also enables us to provide additional levels of support for instrument manufacturers and the flexibility to allocate additional staff to a project when necessary. Regular glass manufacturers can’t match this level of resource.
