Edge processing is an important step to achieving glass longevity! When glass is cut to size, there is a risk of micro-cracks forming on the edges of the cut pieces. Breakage caused by these micro-cracks due to increased internal stresses from sunlight or the influence of mechanical forces like bending is reduced thanks to edge processing. Why Edge Work? ?Reduces Breakage Risk: Grinding edges lowers the chance of breakage by removing inner glass tension and is required for tempering. ?Increases Safety: Extra edge processing is crucial for glass used in applications like frameless wall and door systems, where the risk of injury is higher. ?Enhances Aesthetics: For a polished look, edges can be polished after grinding, adding a sleek finish to the glass especially in interior design elements. At PRESS GLASS, we prioritize safety and aesthetics in our glass products through meticulous edge processing techniques. This ensures not only the durability of the glass but also its safe and beautiful integration into various architectural applications. #GlassFabrication #TemperedGlass #SafetyFirst #ArchitecturalDesign #PRESSGLASS

We are excited to announce that Mr. Arkadiusz Mus, owner of PRESS GLASS group, has visited the new construction site in Ridgeway, VA. ?? It has been a tradition for the owner of PRESS GLASS, to travel to new construction sites during the first delivery of concrete for the foundations. Mr. Mus, along with team members from Poland and the US, placed coins, a book, and various glass pieces typical of our plant's fabrication for good luck. The construction of the expansion in Ridgeway, VA is planned to be completed by the end of 2025. After the expansion, the Ridgeway plant will be one of the largest and most automated facilities processing architectural glass in the USA. Kudos to New Atlantic team for their exceptional work and dedication in bringing this project to life. #pressglass #goglobal #glassindustry

Meet McKinsey Rakestraw, Press Glass Inc.’s Summer 2024 Engineering Intern! McKinsey will be entering her senior year at ECU this fall to complete her Industrial and Systems Engineering degree. During her internship McKinsey gained invaluable professional experience and applied her education in real life situations. On a typical workday she starts by talking with her manager and other members of the team about their plans for the day and if they want her to be involved. During her downtime, she continues working on other ongoing projects. A recent project McKinsey worked on was calculating the right ratio of height and width for glass to move thorough the process vertically rather than the standard horizontal orientation. Knowledge in statics played a key role in her ability to help the team. Hard Skills Development: Being pushed beyond your comfort zone is not uncommon in the workplace and McKinsey was pushed outside of her comfort zone by needing to become more familiar with Excel. She noted that, “We used it some in school, but normally the file and equations were set up for us by our teacher.” In the cases where she had to use it in her daily work, she needed to create the file from start to finish and she thought figuring out the application was fun. Soft Skills Development: McKinsey also highlighted the importance of communication to her work and being willing to learn. She talked about at first feeling like there could be the expectation to know everything, but quickly learned that asking questions was the best way to improve and that those around her enjoyed helping her. Challenges: Every new endeavor comes with challenges and “Learning how to communicate with other people who already speak the glass language,” was one of McKinsey’s challenges along with being completely new to the glass industry. She has learned a lot in her short time and now confuses her friends and family when explaining her projects using “the glass language” that was foreign to her only a few short months ago. Reflection: As McKinsey reflected on her experience with us at Press Glass, she noted liking the people and the greatest lesson she has learned was “not being afraid to ask questions” and it is important to have the drive to find the answers. “If you ask one person and they do not have the answer, then don’t give up if you do not get the answer from the first person you ask,” McKinsey said. #intern #engineering #internship #PressGlass
