From June 4 to 5, the 2026 "Six-Zero Green Building Materials Day" open house event took place at the NorthGlass High-End Equipment Industrial Park. Organized by China Building Materials magazine, the event brought together over 20 journalists from central and local media outlets, along with experts and scholars from the China Building Materials Federation, China Building Material Test & Certification Group (CTC), China Construction Metal Structure Association, and Luoyang Glass Industry Association. They gathered at NorthGlass to explore the green transformation secrets of this high-end equipment manufacturing base. Gao Xueming, Chairman of NorthGlass, led the management team in warmly welcoming the delegation.

On the afternoon of June 4, the journalist delegation and industry representatives toured the NorthGlass High-End Equipment Industrial Park. Covering an area of 510 mu (approximately 34 hectares) with 120,000 square meters of green space, this garden-style park completely overturns traditional impressions of equipment manufacturing factories. The office building's curtain wall is made of 19 giant insulated glass units composed of coated and laminated glass, standing 18.3 meters tall and weighing 8.8 tons each. Using its own independently developed high-end equipment, NorthGlass has supplied curtain wall glass for numerous landmark buildings worldwide. The office building's curtain wall serves as a vivid example of this capability.

On the morning of June 5, the delegation visited NorthGlass Triturbo Fan BU and the Luoyang base of its Glass Deep Processing BU. At the R&D center of the Triturbo Fan BU, journalists toured its testing center, which has been accredited by the China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS), qualifying it as a nationally recognized laboratory. At the Luoyang base of the Glass Deep Processing BU, journalists observed the automated production line system, which covers the entire chain of processes including intelligent glass warehousing, cutting, edging, and sheet sorting. This system is a key component of NorthGlass's holistic "Glass Deep Processing Smart Factory" solution.

▼Sharing of NorthGlass's Green Development and High-Quality Development Achievements

During the technical sharing session, heads of various business units at NorthGlass systematically explained how their core products align with the national "dual carbon" strategy. Technologies in the glass deep processing equipment sector, such as tempering furnaces, Low-E coating lines, automated production lines, and tritrubo fans, continue to innovate and develop, achieving significant results in energy efficiency improvement and energy-saving retrofits. Regarding glass deep processing products, NorthGlass's high-end curtain wall glass, featuring extra-large sizes, ultra-curved surfaces, and high-performance coating technology, achieves architectural aesthetics while greatly reducing building energy consumption. Products like cast glass and light-stone are produced using purely electric drives developed by NorthGlass's High-Temperature Electric Kiln BU, achieving low energy consumption and zero carbon emissions – a typical practice in green building materials.

▼Industry Exchange on "Green Development"

During discussions with journalists, NorthGlass shared its core thought on innovation and green strategy. Innovation is deeply rooted in the corporate culture, encouraging technical staff to boldly experiment, while dedication and hard work form the foundation of innovation. Only through hard work can one truly enjoy the fruits of innovation.

Regarding its green strategy, NorthGlass articulated its green design philosophy: green attributes are embedded in the fundamental logic of each business unit. Simply making a good product is itself a contribution to energy conservation. Since NorthGlass has the capability to manufacture advanced equipment, it should also be able to produce high-quality glass. Driven by this philosophy, NorthGlass has formed a complete structure spanning from high-end equipment to high-end curtain wall glass, creating a unique development model characterized as "one industry, dual-driven by equipment and glass."

▼Media Exchange Session

One journalist remarked after the visit: "NorthGlass's continuous R&D investment and focus on the high-end market demonstrate that green is not a cost, but a competitive advantage." Another journalist focused on the number of countries to which NorthGlass exports its tempering furnaces: over 110 countries and regions, covering nearly all major developed nations, with coverage of nearly 80% of countries along the Belt and Road. This figure reflects the capability of Chinese equipment to serve the global market.

"Six-Zero" is not only a vision but also a call to action. For over 30 years, NorthGlass has evolved from producing China's first horizontal roller hearth flat-bending tempering furnace to today supplying high-end equipment and glass products globally, driving the development of China's glass deep processing industry. Looking ahead, NorthGlass will continue to use innovation as its engine, enabling "Intelligent Manufacturing by NorthGlass" to play an even more central role in the green and low-carbon transformation of the building materials industry. Striving toward carbon neutrality, NorthGlass takes these 30 years as a new starting point, embarking on a new journey together with media friends and industry partners.
