More About Pilkington

The Flat Glass business of NSG Group, trading under the Pilkington brand, is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of glass and glazing products for the building and automotive markets, with manufacturing operations in 27 countries on four continents and sales in 130 countries. Overall, the NSG Group reported sales of $US 5.7 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

Pilkington was founded in 1826 as a partnership and became a private company in 1894. It remained a private company until 1970 when its shares were listed on the London Stock Exchange. Pilkington was de-listed from the London Stock Exchange in June 2006 on becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the NSG Group; itself established in 1918.

The NSG Group has major market shares in most building and automotive product markets of the world, with a broad geographic reach, enabling it to respond to customers whose operations particularly in the case of Automotive OE, are increasingly global.

Around 370 float lines are in operation, under construction or planned worldwide with a combined output of about 970,000 tonnes of glass a week. The NSG Group operates or has interests in 51 float lines worldwide.

Those joining the Group after graduating in the UK, will receive their early career experience and development in the UK. However, there will be opportunities to work with colleagues from around the world and to visit operations outside the UK on short-term projects and assignments. As your career develops, and depending upon role and ability, there will be opportunity for longer-term assignments based around a permanent position.
